@Tony @dcc @dj @sapphire all of microsoft land rejects my mail to this day, unless i route it through sendgrid first
i have my SPF set right, the RDNS record for my mail server IP set, DKIM signatures on all outgoing mail, DMARC record, and a current, publicly trusted SSL certificate bound to SMTP to send and receive mail

@Tony @dcc @dj you’ll never get rid of them. Anyone you know who uses Google or Microsoft will have trouble receiving your mail and their “mail tools” and “support” will stonewall you until you give up.
I used to work for a major hosting provider and it took us over a year to get past the L1 pajeets to get our ranges whitelisted with Microsoft and the L2 guy was just like lol nope sucks to be you
Multimillion dollar company, we cancelled our exchange contract over it and they still didn’t care

@Tony @dcc @dj ok yeah then you’ve gotta go through all the trouble.
As someone who doesn’t ever recommend anything like this: just pay google or someone for their mail service. Modern self-hosted mail is a nightmare and a half. Even if you configure everything right, google and Microsoft have a duopoly on email and they just refuse to properly deliver your mail

i don't have any encryption or anything set up yet, just raw dogging it until i get it functioning.
I just updated postfix to have the propper settings.
So, it should only require an MX record right?

@Tony @dcc
Mail server records are usually MX type not A. You'll also need some txt records for SPF and dkim.

idk if im entering the DNS properly. I have a domain i want to use specifically for the mail server, so no sub domains needed but it typical records are
A: Host-@ Value-IP Address
But the docs say to do A:mail.com Value- IP Address
So idk if im filling them out right.

update:
I am in fact retarded.
I was typing in the domain name wrong because it's one I don't use for anything
