Won't send emails

[LoganHeinzelman]

I set a PTR record. I did all the other stuff and i still cant send emails. i can receive them fine. All i get is message was queued for delivery

Having the same issue :(

@loganrose and @WheresTheSugar The information you provided is only sufficient to tell that your email service is not working and that the reason could be anything.
If you want people to help you find the real problem, you need to provide a lot more information. E.g. in this case:

• What installation procedure did you follow?
• What exactly did you install?
• Which SMTP software is supposed to send the email? Is it connected to Wildduck IMAP?
• What does the log say? How did you obtain the message: 'message was queued for delivery'? Was there anything else in the log?

[WheresTheSugar]

In my case I went through this entire install script on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 and it didn't install an MTA or start it up. So SMTP support is missing entirely. Also redis doesn't startup automatically and needs to be added to the list of enabled daemons in systemctl.

[rqelibari]

How did you ran those scripts? I am asking because the MTA should be installed in script 09_install_zone_mta.sh and activated in script 14_install_start_services.sh if executed correctly.

[WheresTheSugar]

@rqelibari ./install example.com mail.example.com but yea, no smtp and I tried looking for zone mta and it doesn't seem to be on there? What should it's service file be called?

[rqelibari]

./install example.com mail.example.com

That should usually do it, so there has to be some kind of issue here. How did you download the files?
The ZoneMTA service file should be located at /etc/systemd/system/zone-mta.service. Is there any file on your system?

[WheresTheSugar]

@rqelibari actually, just checked it out and zone-mta wasn't started. it was also in a failed state with no logs available however starting had no issues, and it has fixed my issue all together.

[WheresTheSugar]

Had to systemctl enable zone-mta for reboot as well it seems. but 2nd reboot took fine.

@andris9 I think you can close this issue now. WheresTheSugar's problem is resolved and Loganrose is not answering and maybe does not have the issue anymore. What do you think?

[LoganHeinzelman]

I'm currently not able to try the fix as my ISP is being less than nice.

[andris9]

Usually when zone-mta does not start then the machine already has a SMTP service installed, for example Postfix. Apparmor might also mess up some things. "Fresh" Ubuntu VPS means different things for different hosting providers, WildDuck installer is tested in DigitalOcean.

[furkankinyas]

Digitalocean Fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Scripted install
i have same problem after reboot.
smtp dont work and redis dont start.
my solution is
$redis-server&
$systemctl restart zone-mta
$systemctl restart wildduck
