I have just set up virtualmin (using the automatic install.sh approach) on a fresh VPS (Ubuntu 18.04) and have finished running the Post-Installation Wizard as well as running configuration check.
I added a new virtual server and added a user for email to it. I can receive mail sent from my gmail but can’t seem to send anything from my server email to my gmail.
Whenever I try to send a test email from the server, gmail refuses the mail and I get the following error in my inbox:
<myExternalEmail@gmail.com>: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.197.26]

Google has mail server’s requirement is to have a verified DKIM and SPF enabled for delivering messages. It’s also recommended to have rDNS setup for the domain sending mail. However, the later might not be obligatory.
You can enable DKIM for the domains on Virtualmin/Email Settings/DomainKeys Identified Mail page.
When I try to open Virtualmin/Email Settings/DomainKeys Identified Mail, I got a message that DomainKeys Identified Mail is not installed and if I want Virtualmin to install it and I confirmed. However, the installation failed.
