![]() I’m sorry to have to inform you that your message could notīe delivered to one or more recipients. Step 5: Set up PTR Records or Reverse DNS (rDNS)Įmails which are sent without creating the PTR records or the Reverse DNS are outright rejected by the email companies. It will show DKIM, SPF and DMARC as ‘PASS’ if all is well or as ‘FAIL’ or ‘Soft Fail’ if it is not. The status of these settings can be verified from the Gmail Raw Headers. VirtualMin enables both SPF and DMARC records to be created under the ‘Server Configuration’ > ‘DNS Options’ tabs. The DMARC record is also a similar essential requirement. SPF, which stands for ‘Sender Policy Framework’ is another essential item to prevent emails landing up in the spam box. VirtualMin makes all the necessary entries to the DNS records to make the mail pass through the DKIM filter. The DKIM setting is under ‘Email Settings’ > ‘DomainKeys Identified Mail’.Īll that you have to do is choose ‘yes’ for the ‘signing of outgoing mail enabled’ and click the save button. Step 3: Enable DKIMĭKIM or ‘ DomainKeys Identified Mail’ is absolutely vital if email has to pass through the spam filters and reach the inbox of the recipient. Likewise ‘Mail Aliases’ can be created and modified through the ‘Edit Email Aliases’ tab. ![]() The default user has the rights to access Email.Ī new user with the same privileges can be created through the Edit Users’ tab. VirtualMin has two email programmes that have a mailbox which can send and receive emails.Įither or both can be installed through the ‘install scripts’ tab on the menu bar. Step 2: Install Roundcube or SquirrelMail In my experience, it takes from 30 minutes upto 60 minutes for the propogation to be completed. Now, it is a question of waiting for the DNS to propogate over the internet. The names of the two nameservers have to be added under Custom DNS. Then, go to the Domain tab and change from Namecheap BasicDNS to Custom DNS. Under the Advanced DNS tab, Namecheap allows personal / custom DNS servers to be registered.Īll that you have to do is add two entries called ns1 and ns2 and add the IP Address of the server against each of them. Step 1: Create/ Register Personal/ Custom DNS servers. We will have to turnover the DNS entirely to VirtualMin. However, if you intend to use VirtualMin to send and receive emails for your domain, using Namecheap’s DNS is not feasible. ![]() In other words, we can use Namecheap’s basic DNS service and only make entries for the A and CNAME Records. In my earlier post, I pointed out that to host a website with VirtualMin, all that one has to do is to enter the IP Address of the server into Namecheap.
