Excellent video brother. Cheers to the professional lighting in your studio setup. When someone puts that much time into lighting, you can trust their conscientiousness. Email works perfectly. Well done.
Dude, great material. I've researched a "TON" of tutorials only to find them lacking. Now, thanks to you sharing thins knowledge, I can spin up a mail server in @ 20 minutes. For those of us with enough knowledge to be dangerous this just makes us more formidable. Muchas gracias!
This literally has saved me so much time and money. Thank you for the great and easy to follow tutorial! It's rare to find something so useful for my type of work that is so easy to setup and use.

You'll need to work with your internet service provider (ISP) to do this on your home network. Most times, ISPs don't allow you to host your own email server
A VPS is cheaper than hosting from home and your performance will be better. You pc or laptop will probably consume $20-$60 a month in electricity, ask my how I know...
@@BosnianHeisenberg So if we say the Computer consumes 150W , that would be 3,6KWh per Day so if we multiply this by 365 the PC would consume 1.314KWh in a Year, if we multiply this by the average electricity Price (i speak for Germany because i live there) 1.314x0,28€ = 367,92€ or 435,89US$. I rented a Server for about 10€/Month (11,85US$) that would be 120€ per Year or 142,17US$.
Great video and tutorial. One thing though that's a bit mind blowing to me: 1 out of 100 people posting Linux tutorials seem to know that the capital letters when asking (Y/n) mean it's the DEFAULT answer. So you don't have to type in "capital Y" if it says (Y/n) but just hit enter and that's the same as entering "y" and hit enter. "Do you want to continue (Y/n)" Just hit enter. No need to say "so we type in 'y' to confirm" and hit enter
As a complete novice at anything IT or tech related, I found your tutorial highly informative. Thank you. I no longer feel jittery, or uncomfortable about trying to do this myself. I do plan to watch this video a few more times before my attempt, but I do have a couple of initial quick questions. 1. Does Linode (or any other software element involved) provide any kind of support once I set up the server? 2. Can port over bulk emails from the current email ISP I am using (probably thousands) 3. Am I able t o have multiple (3 or 4 ) email accounts? Apologizing in advance if these questions are ultra basic.
Hi Tony. Great video. just an FYI, something I learned recently myself. at the install prompts for cyber panel [y/N] means if you press enter No will be the default. [Y/n] means if you press enter, Yes will be the default. It doesn't mean you have to enter capital Y or capital N,.
Thank you! TH-cam needs more videos like this! Remember also that even if there is not a single email server that comes from this (which I see isn't the case, anyway XD ) these few DIY self serve videos are our only front against VPS server space suddenly skyrocketing salaciously (I admit the last one was on purpose.) Seriously though, server to server competition isnt the a thing anymore. App-controlled inflation is the new capitalism. If we lose the self host option, I have a feeling that were all
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I have a question for you: what about setting up a RDNS without Linode server? What if I have a simple Ubuntu (remote) server without Linode GUI?
Thanks, Great information. Just FYI if one of the options are capital it means that just pressing enter would select that one. You don't have to put the letter in capital.
@Tony Teaches Tech - some questions: 1. If I have 2 or more websites hosted on the Linode, should I add a reverse DNS lookup for each site? 2. I already have an A record and an @ record already in DNS from one of your previous tutorial on hosting a website using cyberpanel. Should I remove them? I noticed you did not add them in this tutorial. Not sure if they will cause conflicts. 3. Any videos/recommendations on hardening the mail server once you get it going?
Thanks for this video. I noticed you used the same IP address for both name servers. For .CA domains, CIRA won't allow that. The name servers need to be pointing at unique IP address! Any thoughts on a work around?
This is a great video. I've been looking for a video on how to set up a self-hosted email account. Most videos just tell how to set up a gmail account to use another email address.
Tony I want to set up a email server but you say I will need a static IP. I am behind a centurylink router and I have a dynamic IP. Can I still set up the server and not distrb my present account?
I remember trying to host an email server and it worked, getting it hosted and sending was easy but making it not send to spam was crazy hard. I did so much digging into how to fix it and I kept going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole setting so many settings and it still kept going to junk. Good to see a video like this, hopefully it works out.
many a time I think I will earn good and contribute to people like you for sharing good stuff for free to needy. I read lot of comments but less contribution. Thanks for everything.
I would like to see how you would connect your Windows Outlook mail client to this mailbox using IMAP configuration with ssl/tls or starttls for both incoming and outgoing mail server? I have been using Webmin/Virtualmin GPL version (free version) for several years now. But I always have issues with connecting Outlook client to it. I often have to set up no SSL on the incoming mail. Very annoying. No problem with Thunderbird for example and of course no issue with the webmail application (Roundcube). I thought maybe this would be interesting for me to find out. The "Cyberpanel" seems a bit simpler to use than Virtualmin, where it is necessary to configure a server template that is used as default with all default parameters for each server to be created. It takes a long time to prepare it unlike your demonstration that was very quick. Once set up, it is quick to create a new server as well. Thanks for the nice video. There is always something new coming up...
Tony - Thanks for another solid tutorial , i may be mistaken but I thought it isn’t recommended to host your own email dt deliverability, spam filters and overall high maintenance and complications that come with doing so. Is there something im missing? If u do recommend self hosting email, what would be ur recommend use cases if any?
Hi Pat. I personally don't host my own email server at this point. I resisted making this video on my channel for a while, (because of some of the reasons you mentioned) but there was such demand from my subscribers so I decided to make it anyway. The reason a lot of people want to host their own email server is for privacy so Google or Apple aren't snooping on your messages for example. I trust Google with my data so instead of hosting my own email server or paying for email hosting, I get free email hosting from Google right in my Gmail inbox th-cam.com/video/RbT28X0wiRw/w-d-xo.html. This works because I get my domain names from Google Domains. If that's not the case for you and you're interested in this method, you could always do a domain transfer. Btw I know your name cause I did some snooping myself ;) Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great lesson. If I understand this correctly, if you want to run a server on premise, and your ISP blocks port 25, then through the VPS there is a way to open Port 25? How does that work?
This is outstanding, thank you. Quick question: Can I retain my GoDaddy website hosting AND have my linode email server use the same DNS name, or does my linode email DNS name need to be different? My guess is the answer lies in me hosting my own name server on the linode website where it'll point to my GoDaddy site for the root website, but the MX records will point to the linode email server. Am I close? Please explain.
I never wanted to host an email server. But then this video popped up in my feed. Good thing I have plenty of time on my hands. Great video!! But one thing that bugged me. When a y or n is capitalized, it means it is default if you just hit enter. Your selection does not have be typed in capitalized. Thank you!!!
Hey Tony, thanks for this amazing content. One quick question, if hosting multiple sites on one Linode instance, can I do the same by using one Linode instance as a mail server for all the multiple domains?
@@TonyTeachesTech thanks Tony. I meant a separate Linode instance for the mail server but for multiple domains. Of course my web files are on a different server. Would you recommend that?
Hi Tony, I have a few questions: Could you tell me the type of application you used in creating your video and secondly what camera and lighting did you use for this presentation? Your content is wonderful. Thank you.
very nice tutorial! one question: how can I have cyberpanel tls secured? As in this tutorial, we have a dns server itself, we have to configure our dns to map to the server itself right? i'm bit confused lol
I host my email server on my Synology DS116, but it always suffering network brute-force attack, is it possible to protect my self hosted email server by 'Fast Reverse Proxy=FRP' technology?
great tutorial i'm going to follow your steps, but i have a question. where did you do the request to get the ports unlock? I'm asking this because i had no luck in AWS when i did my request Greetings!!
I am trying to work through Tony's Tutorial on Hosting Own Email Server. I am hosting on a Raspberry Pi 4. I have the domani from NameCheap. The issue is I only have my private home IP. Do I need to use DDNS? If so, how would I set this up?
Hello Tony, First let me thank you for great video & effort. Second, I have a question; at the minute 4:35, why you set ns1 & ns2 to IP address of the VPS & did not provide the nameserver names & IPs as provided by VPS hosting provider?
Like I said in another comment, great tutorial. One question tho, what are the extra steps that you need to do in linode to set up the domain correctly, if these are even necessary (I'm refering to the steps mentioned in the link you provide: Running a Mail Server on linode)? Or is it just the issue of contacting linode to open the e-mail ports and nothing else needs to be done? I'm asking because I can receive emails but I can't send them and now I'm doing some additional troubleshooting.
I DO appreciate this tutorial! Questions: What does "free" mean relative to the $10/month Linode fee? And, Can I log into the new email account from CLI (command line interface) instead of the GUI webmail-style login? I hope to have my CLI personal security system send out emails to alert us of security breaches and ip address changes. I had the emailing working fine until my system went bezerk and sent out too many and got on gmail's bad side.
While this tutorial is demonstrated with Linode, the software is open source and free. If you have your own server, you can achieve the same (assuming you have a static IP and access to the DNS settings). I would think you can access your email via the CLI, but to be honest I haven't tried this.
@@TonyTeachesTech I see. Problem is that residential IP addresses have a history of being ostracized by the emailing giants due to 1990s and early 2000s-era spamming. I haven't kept up with the the latest of that, though.
Great Tut Tony. Was curious about the skim setting but I didn't see it in the video. Also, are there any mail-merge add-ons that are compatible with this email option?
Tony, I have three domains I need mail servers to handle; would I need three separate physical server (computers)? Or, will the one installation of CyberPanel handle multiple email domains?
Hi. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I set everything up and passed all the tests but when I send a test email, I don't receive it. I have used several email clients. I have set it up several times as well with different IP addresses but nothing.
@@TonyTeachesTech Hi Tony, I must say you've really done a great deal of super cool job here. Everything about the tutorial is just awesome. Nice job. However, After setting up everything, I'm facing the same challenge above. I don't receive email whenever I sent and don't receive either. Any ideas on possible cause?
Thanks for the video. A bit of a vague question here but how much secure can hosting your own mail server be than lets say an email provider like Proton Mail? Can it be more secure? And if yes, how?
Hosting your own email server can be more private, but we didn't touch on security much in this video so I wouldn't say it will be more secure (as least in this configuration)
Nice knowledge tutorial, Tony. How about port 25? Don't we have to communicate with someone to have it open? Aren't we work on an MTA that works on 25 port? Thanks!
Can you use the mail server to send emails from a contact form on a website? My hosting is rising the prices and the only reason I'm still with them is because of the email, and the only thing I use it for is for sending emails from contact forms on websites... thanks!
HI Tony, why do we have to set reverse dns? for example if I have a server and I have several domains parked and I want to set multiple email addresses how do I proceed? Can I do this? Thanks!
As a new learner, i tried setup with other mails, but after follows your tutorials. it create all this like charm. one thing i get u used gmail while response, i think already bind your domain mail in to gmail service...
Tony, disculpa por no escribirte en ingles, pero me encanta tus videos, son tan claros y concisos que se entiende muy bien a pesar de que no está en español... Sigue adelante 👏🥳🥳
Hey Tony good stuff. I did have a quick question for you. I have a website hosted on with a company, would I be able to create the email server on a different platform and still leave the website were it is hosted at right now?
Очень хороший хостинг для аренды VPS/VDS под сайты и почту WELLWEBNET! Поддержка на высоте, скорость работы VPS сервера максимальна, маленький пинг, возможность выбора одного из 5-ти ДЦ мира. Панельку ISP ставят сами и делают перенос. SSL сертификаты бесплатные настраивают и при продлении потом не отваливается как у других; Почту настраивает так что она наконец то попадает во входящие!!! Я в восторге!
Thank you for the tutorial, very good quality! I am new on this and I have a question. How we know and monitor the sending limits (hourly, per minute etc.) of this $10 machine you bought. Is there somewhere a tutorial explaining this? Thanks and keep up!
Hey Tony I have a question are those emails saved to a database such as MSSQL and can retrieved through another application connected to the database where the emails are stored?
For anyone searching, you can install smtp on your server and then call a simple Python, PHP... script which will log into your email and send one. It´s super easy.
Nice tutorial. I was able to set up everything per the video, however, for some reason, my mails dont get delivered. What could be the reason for that?
Hi Tony, great tutorial but I'm getting this error: postfix check postfix: error: to submit mail, use the Postfix sendmail command postfix: fatal: the postfix command is reserved for the superuser
Hey, great video but I was wondering if you could make the tutorial again but this time on a personal linux server since i dont have a linode and neither can I get one
Most of the steps on a personal server would be the same. You'll probably run into an issue with setting up reverse DNS though since most residential internet service providers don't support that capability
Thank you, that was very helpful. Would you recommend keeping your mail server separate from hosting your website? Would like to know how to set that up. Also, how would you set this up on GCP? From what I understand they block port 25.
If you want to keep email server and web hosting server separate, that's possible. You can host web server on GCP and mail server on a VPS or any other server.
I believe we already connected on email (sorry for the slow response), but for others who are curious... - If you're on Mac/Linux: th-cam.com/video/j2vBT3T79Pg/w-d-xo.html - If you're on Windows: th-cam.com/video/4jakCV5JYx0/w-d-xo.html

Tip for those who can't send Emails: Linode blocks the Email ports by default. You have to create a ticket to unblock them.
Also their network is now blacklisted so you should use an smtp relay.
@@bytecorner123, their entire network, as in, all IP address ranges? Isn't blacklisting by single IP addresses at a time?
I have a Linode server, and I don't run an email server. Blacklist checking sites indicate the IP address is fine, save 1 server out of at least a couple dozen.
@@iamericlentz They are definitely blacklisted by microsoft, luckily it sends a bounce back telling you this so it was easy to just use a relay/smarthost.
@@bytecorner123 any alternative ?

I really appreciate that!
I agree, @Tony is a genius! I just saw this video clip and although am a noob at this, I will try! You are awesome @Tony!
Like I said in another comment, great tutorial. One question tho, what are the extra steps that you need to do in linode to set up the domain correctly, if these are even necessary (I'm refering to the steps mentioned in the link you provide: Running a Mail Server on linode)? Or is it just the issue of contacting linode to open the e-mail ports and nothing else needs to be done? I'm asking because I can receive emails but I can't send them and now I'm doing some additional troubleshooting.
You’ll need to ask linode to open email ports AND setup the reverse DNS in your Linode dashboard on order to send and receive emails
This was exceptionally helpful. Thanks for your hard-work my brother 🇺🇸💪🏽
Thanks Tony I want able to set it up, but what is the difference between and email server and smpt? Can I connect this to mautic?
I haven't look into this yet, but I plan on investigating in the future
Nice one Tony - Subbed, Cheers :)
I DO appreciate this tutorial! Questions: What does "free" mean relative to the $10/month Linode fee? And, Can I log into the new email account from CLI (command line interface) instead of the GUI webmail-style login? I hope to have my CLI personal security system send out emails to alert us of security breaches and ip address changes. I had the emailing working fine until my system went bezerk and sent out too many and got on gmail's bad side.
While this tutorial is demonstrated with Linode, the software is open source and free. If you have your own server, you can achieve the same (assuming you have a static IP and access to the DNS settings).
I would think you can access your email via the CLI, but to be honest I haven't tried this.
@@TonyTeachesTech I see. Problem is that residential IP addresses have a history of being ostracized by the emailing giants due to 1990s and early 2000s-era spamming. I haven't kept up with the the latest of that, though.
Very neat and clear explanation. Thank you Tony 😊
Very welcome
Great Tut Tony. Was curious about the skim setting but I didn't see it in the video. Also, are there any mail-merge add-ons that are compatible with this email option?
What skim setting? I haven't tried any add-ons
Tony, I have three domains I need mail servers to handle; would I need three separate physical server (computers)?
Or, will the one installation of CyberPanel handle multiple email domains?
Hi. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
I set everything up and passed all the tests but when I send a test email, I don't receive it. I have used several email clients. I have set it up several times as well with different IP addresses but nothing.
That's weird. It's a very hard thing to figure out why it's not working. Have you checked you mail logs on the server for clues?
@@TonyTeachesTech Hi Tony, I must say you've really done a great deal of super cool job here. Everything about the tutorial is just awesome. Nice job. However, After setting up everything, I'm facing the same challenge above. I don't receive email whenever I sent and don't receive either. Any ideas on possible cause?
Thanks for the video.
A bit of a vague question here but how much secure can hosting your own mail server be than lets say an email provider like Proton Mail? Can it be more secure? And if yes, how?
Hosting your own email server can be more private, but we didn't touch on security much in this video so I wouldn't say it will be more secure (as least in this configuration)
Nice knowledge tutorial, Tony. How about port 25? Don't we have to communicate with someone to have it open? Aren't we work on an MTA that works on 25 port? Thanks!
Please see note 2 here tonyteaches.tech/self-hosted-email-with-cyberpanel/
I'm already subscribed to this amazing tech chanel.
Great Video! Worked like a charm. Only thing I had to adjust where the Ports on my Server.
Happy to hear that
Can you use the mail server to send emails from a contact form on a website? My hosting is rising the prices and the only reason I'm still with them is because of the email, and the only thing I use it for is for sending emails from contact forms on websites... thanks!
HI Tony, why do we have to set reverse dns? for example if I have a server and I have several domains parked and I want to set multiple email addresses how do I proceed? Can I do this? Thanks!
nice tutorial,i have setup a mail server is so is it possible to include linode to do the config you were training on
Awesome, love your videos. Waiting for more videos on Cyberpanel and Linux/Wordpress security.
Thank you. More to come!
As a new learner, i tried setup with other mails, but after follows your tutorials. it create all this like charm. one thing i get u used gmail while response, i think already bind your domain mail in to gmail service...
Tony, disculpa por no escribirte en ingles, pero me encanta tus videos, son tan claros y concisos que se entiende muy bien a pesar de que no está en español... Sigue adelante 👏🥳🥳
🙏🙏🙏
Great tutorial! What should I do if my emails go to the spam folder?
Please use www.mail-tester.com/. This will provide suggestions
Hey Tony good stuff. I did have a quick question for you. I have a website hosted on with a company, would I be able to create the email server on a different platform and still leave the website were it is hosted at right now?
Yep
Очень хороший хостинг для аренды VPS/VDS под сайты и почту WELLWEBNET! Поддержка на высоте, скорость работы VPS сервера максимальна, маленький пинг, возможность выбора одного из 5-ти ДЦ мира. Панельку ISP ставят сами и делают перенос. SSL сертификаты бесплатные настраивают и при продлении потом не отваливается как у других; Почту настраивает так что она наконец то попадает во входящие!!! Я в восторге!
What?
Great video , how many email can send per hour ? Is there any limitations on sending?
There are no limit to how many emails that you can send
@@TonyTeachesTech there is a limit :(
@@pukimakkill867 what do you mean?
Hey Tony… can we implement a SMTP relay situation with this email server we created in this tutorial?
Good explanation, and very interesting to watch til end. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot, your tutorial is very valuable for a beginner like me.
Thank you for the tutorial, very good quality! I am new on this and I have a question. How we know and monitor the sending limits (hourly, per minute etc.) of this $10 machine you bought. Is there somewhere a tutorial explaining this? Thanks and keep up!
There is no sending limit
There is no limit defined. You can manually configure limits in postfix config. You can monitor the statistics through a command line tool.
Life saver right here Tony!! Seriously!! Thank you!!
You're very welcome Matt!! Enjoy :)
Great video! What if I have multiple sites in CP? How do you set up the multiple email accounts since Linode only allows you to set one rDNS value?
Good question! I'm actually not sure about that
Hey Tony I have a question are those emails saved to a database such as MSSQL and can retrieved through another application connected to the database where the emails are stored?
Superb way of explanation!. Loved the video.
Thanks Ali!
Perfect! Is there a way to send emails programmatically?
For anyone searching, you can install smtp on your server and then call a simple Python, PHP... script which will log into your email and send one. It´s super easy.
I'm not familiar with an easy way to do that
If we want to add multiple domains ( I have 4 ) and multiple custom domains for each website, what about reverse DNS setup?
Nice! Definitely going to try this out. Already have 2 domains just sitting around name cheap… Ty
Sure thing
What does the Mail Domain checkbox do? Located when creating a website
It'll automatically create mail.example.com
Awesome brother
How many mails can we send /day bro?
As many as you'd like
This is great tutorial! Can we do it the same way to provide email marketing service?
Probably, but I'm not familiar with email marketing services at this point
Nice tutorial. I was able to set up everything per the video, however, for some reason, my mails dont get delivered. What could be the reason for that?
Please see Note 2 here tonyteaches.tech/self-hosted-email-with-cyberpanel/
Hi Tony, do you have some video to create a mailserver using users from Ldap or samba server ?
Hi namesake, nice tutorial. Pls what's the sending limit of the webmail?
There is no sending limit
Hi Tony, great tutorial but I'm getting this error:
postfix check
postfix: error: to submit mail, use the Postfix sendmail command
postfix: fatal: the postfix command is reserved for the superuser
Hey, great video but I was wondering if you could make the tutorial again but this time on a personal linux server since i dont have a linode and neither can I get one
Most of the steps on a personal server would be the same. You'll probably run into an issue with setting up reverse DNS though since most residential internet service providers don't support that capability
Thanks Tony. Great tutorial. However, just a question: Don't Linode block port 10 by default like AWS or other clouds?
Not sure about port 10, but they do indeed block ports 25, 465, and 587 www.linode.com/blog/linode/a-new-policy-to-help-fight-spam/
Can you show us how to setup incoming and outgoing conf and link it with thunderbird app. THANKS
What do you mean by incoming and outgoing conf?
Thank you, that was very helpful. Would you recommend keeping your mail server separate from hosting your website? Would like to know how to set that up. Also, how would you set this up on GCP? From what I understand they block port 25.
Yes, you can host both mail and website on a single server. If GCP does indeed block port 25, you might be out of luck.
If you want to keep email server and web hosting server separate, that's possible. You can host web server on GCP and mail server on a VPS or any other server.
Great video, how did you setup the SSH keys?
I believe we already connected on email (sorry for the slow response), but for others who are curious...
