3. Incoming mail
- You will need to add your MX dns entries correctly to receive
email.
- MX 10 your.domain.name --> mail.your.domain.name
- A mail.your.domain.name --> 1.1.1.1 (your ip address)
- Turn off any firewall or enable ports 25,110,143,80,443 at

4. Outgoing mail
- It should work immediately, if it doesn't check the logs for
the reason, your ISP may be blocking port 25, in which case you
can send via their system using a g_gateway rule, or move your
server to an unrestricted place (we recommend a hosting provider
like Linode.com).
