25 and okay all good just click add okay now let's use info paste our password here hit enter welcome to your web mail dashboard and here you can send and receive email messages if you don't want to use this uh Soo Webmail client you can use other email clients like Thunderbird but now let's test our email server using our uh mail tester okay we'll just copy this one let's compose a new message we'll add the recipient here and we will use an email template okay I will use this email template so put it on our subject and our body okay great we will just hit this button to send now we will check our score okay great we have 10 over 10 okay our message could be improved so if you want to have a better message you should come up with another uh email template and next we will will send uh

send okay we have received the email from our web mail okay let's check okay great we have received from from our web mail to Bren mail but what but what about AAL mail okay let's try to go to spam okay we have received the email from our web mail SMTP server to spam so the remedy for this one is to warm up your IP so that uh you can train a maale to let this be treated as a normal message so that's the importance of Ip warm up next we'll try to reply okay hey I will be there cheers let's send okay we'll refresh if we have received the message great we have received the message the reply rather what about the proton mail okay let's reply okay we'll just send okay we'll refresh okay we have received the reply it will be thanks I will be there so now let's try to configure our Thunderbird okay let's open our Thunderbird just go to account settings add mail account info at web. store we'll use our password we have created while setting up our mailbox just click continue and if you faced this error just go to configure manually okay let's configure our host name we'll use starts and normal password that will be 143 BL ma 587 let's try start LS and normal password and just click done just click finish okay we have prople sync our mailbox with our Thunderbird and our web mail okay next this is another part in Cloud Fair we will be creating a DNS set okay this will help us protect our uh DNS we'll just click uh DS record right here let's go to our domain register go to Advanced DNS just enable this one here so status will be enabled okay let's go back to Clare so we will add key tag first which will be 2 371 so the algorithm will be 13 we'll choose 13 and a digest type will be okay sh sh 256 okay thejust is okay we'll just copy this one and of course paste it here and just click save okay it will take at least an hour for the DNS te configuration to take into effect now next the final step is warming up your IP and domain you can use warm-up services like warmup inbox or instantly. aai and though rockard allows unlimited outgoing email messages that doesn't mean you need to send thousands of emails in one gloup because your IP is new your domain is new and of course your SMTP server is new so imagine if you send thousands of emails to Gmail of course it will attract the spam Raider of Gmail and will treat your IP as spam and it will put you in um block list in spam house because you are sending too much email though you are just new so to remedy that one you need to sign up for a warm-up service like warm-up inbox so what does warm-up inbox do warm up warm-up inbox will just automatically warm up your inbox so they have a 7day free trial you can try them out and what they'll do is they will send automatic emails to Gmail uh Outlook book another email provider that is done automatically and without lifting a finger so that is how you will build trust on your SMTP server and for some bonus I'll just show you how to save on VPS with rock ner so here's the bonus content you can get a VPS in raker for $52.49 per year yes it's annually and you can add 6 gab of ram so that you can comply with macow uh minimum system requirements and it will cost only 6899 per year yes per year so this is just the bonus content and that's it I hope you learn something from mailco setup and if you have any questions just drop them on the comment
