I am trying to setup my own lemmy server. I used ansible.
I can access my server via my domain just fine. But emails are not working.
First i had my mail and mx records pointing to privateemail via namecheap.
Then i tried using cloudflare email routing and their mx records.
neither worked for me with error connecting.
I thought maybe using dovecot? But self hosting email is new to me
I was hoping to use namecheaps privateemail but wasn’t sure how to get it working.
The email account worked and can send / receive but Lemmy and postfix cannot communicate with it.
Now I have no Mx records as I’m not sure what I should be using I am sure I am missing something obvious but idk what
Any ideas ?
You don’t need MX records for outgoing mail. Mailjet works well for me and gives you 200 free daily mails.
