Suggestions

  • Setup a noreply@yourdomain.tld if you do not wish to allow people to reply to your emails, and set it’s quota to something small so it won’t store emails
  • It is a good idea to use Force From Email (see Option 1)

Common Issues

  • Your email address is not setup to receive mail (the SMTP server does a lookup to check your mailbox exists and is enabled before it allows you to send mail)

Other Information

  • Replace yourdomain.tld with your domain name
