Followed the tutorial step by step, worked like a charm, you are the boss!
thanks, really helped me, i didn't know ports 25 and 465 needed special request to be opened, thanks again
Great tutorial - was able to setup a private family email server with Sogo with full email, calendaring, and tasking and no previous Linux or hosting experience. Really nice and the tutorial worked flawlessly. Goodbye Gmail!! Thank you!
WOW great video and clear and easy to follow, thank you Tony
Thank you for this video.
This is very clear to understand.
Many helpful for me.
You are welcome!
Well done Tony for a detailed step-by-step guide, hope i did not join the party too late since the need for a local mail server only became necessary recently. So my question and concern are declaring the autodiscover and autoconfig as MX records, i believe they should be CNAME records pointing to the already declared MX record. My thought, I am open to your perspective or a lesson or two.
Thank you! may the Almighty and ever Living Yahweh bless you for this; this meant much for us.
Hi Tony. Getting ready to host my own email server. I saw both your video on iRedMail and Mail-in-a-box. What's your thoughts/recommendation between the two? Great tutorials btw..
Thank You so much . This tutorial is Awesome .
ok and now for windows server 2019?
Worked like a charm, thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks for this video. Easy to follow and helpful
I know this video is a couple of years old but I just want to state that removing the quotes in the security key isn't necessary but you should copy both the beginning and ending quote if you don't.
Nice tuto once again! Thanks so much, Tony! :)
You're welcome!
Thanks for your guide man it was very helpful!
No problem!
Thanks, sir! I followed your tutorial, and it worked great. It has been functioning successfully for the last three months. However, in recent days, the SSL certificate has been broken. How can I renew the SSL certificate for the iRedMail Server?
Gracias estoy muy agradecido muy buen video bro Thanks
Great and clear video! Well done and thanks
Thanks for the video, worked great. I figured out how to turn off the logwatch emails, but how do I turn off the SQL backup emails?
thanks tony. you are brilliant
You're welcome!
What if I want to have my website on one server - but the mail on another? Can I do everything with the mail hostname and skip the main domain?
Then access it via that subdomain?
In this a great video, thanks for sharing this tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
So, iRed Mail does not provide SSL and do you need to renew your SSLs when they expires
your video is very clear thank you!
can you also show how this works if you use multiple domains with IredMail?
Very nice information, thanks
If certbot command not found when issuing ssl certificates, the following command helps:
ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
Add an smtp relay like mailgun or postmark for better deliverability. Also watch luke smith email video.
You have the link?
I previously use mailgun with my mail in box, ended up most of my email go into promotions tab of gmail. What I'm trying to do now is to create VM in google and use my google workspace to be the external smtp.
Great informative content as always :)
Thanks again!
What do i do if port 25 is closed
Any chance of making a video on updating iredmail? Great video by the way, thanks!
mine showing "Oops... something went wrong!'... what could be the cause please
Vultr wouldn't unlock port 25 for me.
Your video explanation is very good~“Error: Session expired, please re-login?”Can you tell me how to deal with it?
I installed successfully, but I can't log in and get an error: "Error: Username or password is incorrect." I did a simple reset and password change but it didn't solve the problem.
do I need to use the VPS dedicated for iRedMail or can I use the same VPS for my other django apps?
also can we setup multiple domains for email?
like I have two domains and two django apps and wanted to host on same VPS with iRedMail, can I do the same?
Thanks for the great video. Is IRedMail better than Mailu? Which is better you think?
Brilliant maan support from india
Thank you very much!
Hello, I can't send emails, but I can receive emails. What is the reason?
Do you have any videos on how to implement PAM or OTP authentication for client login?
this was very greate video. please dont remove it.))
Thank you
how to config for multi domainnames, sort of share hosting scenario?
what if I have a website running already on the main domain will it affect it?
because it did rewrite my nginx config, which brought down my website.
Thank you..!!!! is a very interesting video..
Thanks David
Hey Tony! What are the DNS records we must add if I want to add another domain in iRedMail?
Tony, how to change the smtp and imap settings to that of amazon ses ? amazon seems to have better deliverability
Great video!
Thanks!
How much emails can we send a day please to not be blacklisted
Hi, great tutorial but i dont know how you get the DNS 9 line. ok dkim key from showkey but you setup 3 other TXT value
Hi Tony.
Again awesome video.
I have a question.
I watched your Mail-in-a-Box (on a VPS) video.
So which one is better? Mail-in-a-Box or iRedMail ?
What are the advantages or disadvantages for each one?
Thanks very much
The DNS configuration for Mail In a Box is significantly easier in my opinion since you don’t have to add individual DNS records. Otherwise I see them as being equal although I haven’t gotten into the weeds with either. Just my initial impression
iredmail have antivirus (clamAV), mail-in-a-box doesn't have anti virus.
Thanks!
Setting up an SMTP server is already hard ....not having port 25 open and trying to use alternative ports is even harder.
I would be glad if you answer Tony, i did everything exactly how you did it then i tried going to the iredadmin but it won’t open this site can’t be reached
Having problems with installing the certificates. Any advice? I'm using namecheap for my domain.
i am not able to set rdns. the rverse dns didnt have my vps ip on ibm cloud. its unbelivable. after also i got this error that my storage in ibm is not good filesystem to install snap and certbot and after that moment of the video nothing works for me!!! help me. tell me what to do.
Hi Tony and thanks for the video, do I need static ip address to have my own iRedmail?
Hello there. Thanks for excellent videos. I couldn;t find the link of the blog post about submmitting ticket for oppening port that you mention at 0:38 Can you provide please?
Can it send up to one million email a day?
I get all the way to the Admin Login. Then it "times" out instantly saying session timed out. Haven't been able to get any further then that yet.
Can I install iRedMail on a different server from the one I use for mailing?
I'd like to see a video where iredmail is setup on a local host. In othewords, not using a hosting service.
hi so when i do /iredadmin it goes to 502 Bad Gateway
I skipped a bit so sorry if you did mention it, but where would you get imap settings (server info and ports etc) so you could add this to outlook or other email software.
I think this should work
incoming/outgoing server: hostname
port: standard IMAP/pop3 port
User: your email
Pass: your pass
Login username of SMTP/POP3/IMAP services must be a full email address.
POP3 service: port 110 over STARTTLS, or port 995 with SSL.
IMAP service: port 143 over STARTTLS, or port 993 with SSL.
SMTP service: port 587 over STARTTLS.
All those listed on iRedMail documentation
Any of these suggestions work for you?
@@TonyTeachesTech yes thank you !
@@peakminute cheers dude
how many domain should i add iRedMail Email Server?
Hi Tony, Greate Video. anyway I'm facing problem. I've been setup my DNS record. but my email still detected as spam.
This doesn't work with SELinux, thus I refuse to use it.
hi i have a question. How can I change the SPF record with my DDNS?
Thanks
Where did you get your domain name from? There's usually DNS settings in your dashboard for that where you can add or change SPF
Hi again Tony :)
I have nginx lemp debian server and i have 2 sites in it.
Should i install iRedMail to same server or to another one (new server)?
Thanks
You should have nothing else running on the server before installing iRedMail
Hi, is it also possible to use my server with Imap on outlook or similar client?
Thanks for this video. Easy to follow and helpful.
I was able to setup my server. I am having an issue, I cannot send an email to gmail, yahoo, etc.. But I can received and also send to myself. Seems like my IP is blacklisted and It is a brand new server from Gcore labs.
Any idea how I can fix this ? Changing to another IP won't guarantee that it is not already blacklisted as well.
Thanks,
Please make sure you have configured your DNS records according to the instructions in the video. DNS misconfiguration can result in undelivered email
Isn't port 25 blocked?
hello i have created an email server iredmail and i tested the email i sent in the queue and no email was received , can you explain why?
Perhaps you missed a DNS configuration step
can you do video on layerstack cloud provider? ask them for demo free account
Do you happen to know how to add multiple domains to a configuration like you have shown?
No sorry James
Hi.. Good going.. Did u fix the clamav old version error?. How abt auto updating the domain cert. Did u use the nftables fw rules ? N did u find any error with fail2ban..
Thanks! No I haven’t looked into these items
Nice video, then how to use it as a SMTP server ?
Hello Tony I want to ask
1- Is it possible to add a WordPress website after installing the iRedmail in the same VPS?
2- Are these DNS Records which you pointed Standard?
They are not. Based on his DNS records, he is actually pointing any possible site to his email server. Don't know why he did that.
not working
Hey Tony, how do I find out the SMTP and IMAP records for new inboxes? Thanks!
I'll have to point you here for that answer docs.iredmail.org/
Hi Tony. I yet cannot understand. MX records servers are not the same as the servers that are being stated on a third app mail account settings. Why are they different? Cannot understand. Thank you.
Yeah the server with iRedMail will have MX records. A third party mail app will talk to this server to access/send mail
can you add all commands in a text file ?
I will eventually add a blog post for this
how can we have 2 or more iRedMail in same domain ?
Not sure how to do that
how can i forward a mail with iRedMail Email Server ?
I recommend you look at the docs for this
hostname -f setup you given comment vim /etc/hosts after given entire how to save and come out. what command is that?? thanks advance

Hi... I m following ur video.. Could u also make a video on upgrading of various services like iredadmin n mlmn n iredApd services to the latest or suggest a automated upgrade and various other running.. Or like restoring the VM in case of linux corruption.. There are no such video on youtube
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion
Google Domains... that aged well
if 25 port is blocked but 587 is available, so is that possible to send the mail to another id?
I'm not sure
I’ve watched several of your videos about setting up an email server, but haven’t seen anything about setting up any sort of spam blocker. Do you have any advice for filtering out spam?
I don’t have any recommendations for this yet, sorry
what about ptr record on vultr , does i will need to or not?
Yes
what is the limit of this email server per hour and per day ?
None
Hi tony i keep getting an error message "Session expired, please re-login." any idea what's the problem?
I don't know sorry
Can we use this server to send newsletters? Like 50k emails?
I don’t see why not
@@TonyTeachesTech Do I have to do the "IP Warmup" ?
Absolute noob here! Can bulk emails be sent with this setup? Anyway great video indeed, subscribed
I haven’t looked into this yet, but I would think that it’s possible
Hi Tony,
I followed your tutorial and it goes smoothly setting up the iReadMail. But there's a problem, whenever I create a new server block on nginx it gives me the iRedMail Serverblock, I already removed all the defualt config
I'm not sure why that's happening Christian
@@TonyTeachesTech I really appreciate your reply, I already fix it but I forgot what I did😅
Hello Christian, How did you set the server block for nginx?
@@zhengen Fix server names everything should have their own domain
Can it be used in sending mass email??
Noob to this can you 100,000+ bulk email send with this set-up
I don't see why not
I can help you with Exchange deployments
Appreciate that
Nothing work. Where is all command in description? Very BAD GUIDE!
$20/mo ... ROFL ... 4 GB/80GB ... LOL
nice video

Thanks!
So, spend 20$ monthly, spend a load of time configuring things, spend even more time to keep reputation UP, then spend a load of time troubleshooting. Why? I mean, this is good to learn, but mail is something you should touch only when you are extremely confident and have a shitload of time. MXroute/Gmail/Zoho etc is the answer. Let other bang their heads and you keep stress out of the way.
Thank you for your videos! Very helpful, however, fuck selfhosted email servers!!
Haha definitely not for everyone
true that. Zoho is so cheap for email.
Depends how much you value your privacy. If something is free or next to free, then you are the product. You're right, general consensus 5-10 years ago was not to run your own mail server but things change. What changed? Privacy awareness. What didn't change? The laws required to protect consumer privacy. I don't know about others here but I mostly use email to receive messages but don't send hundreds of messages a day which is where you might run into reputational risks. I'm not saying self-hosting is for everyone but for tech-savvy folks - it isn't a terrible idea, especially if you like to "tinker." Tony got you going but its on you to learn more.
Some of us like to combine self-hosted email servers with self-hosted autoresponders to save money on sending mass emails to our subscribers.
