hello i have webmin/virtualmin pro installed on my ubuntu 20.04 server and im trying to setup smtp and a email server to send and receive emails any help will be greatfull

Step1 create a A record in your namesever for mail
so add a A record, name it mail and point it to 90.196.186.235

yes ihave just done that for virtualmin and namecheap too

nope, mxtools says there NO IP

i just done it now there

screenshot namecheap record, you entered it incorrect or something, untill mxtools show a IP then it won’t work


this my records now from namecheap

ok next step get a connection to the server


and this is my dns records on virtualmin

ok how do i connect to the server

Do Not run DNS on the virtual server. Namecheap is your dns server.
DNS is not the issue, sort out your connection issue.

ok how do i do that and what do i need to go to

hard for me to know, I run my server on Vultr VPS.
You need to sort you routing issue to the server.

oh right ok thanks for your help anyway
