    Hello there,

    I make an hesitation betwen posting in ispconfig or here, but i think it's more a linux question.

    I did a fresh install of my Debian server (Debian12) and a fresh install of ispconfig (lastversion).
    Everything is working well.

    Well, in fact not exactly : i try to configure email. Sooo i create a domain : fine, then i create an email : fine aswell. I login in roundcube to check it : works.

    I try to send an email from gmail to this email : fail "554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied"

    I think that it's definelty not a problem from debian or ispconfig but more the way that i fill the dns part on my ovh dedicated server : i know that dns are a bit "touchy" the less you modify it the better it works. But i think that i didn't fill properly the MX area which, as far as i know correspond to the email part.

    I think that by defaut, OVH configuration route it to a park destination which means that it's filled to not have problem regarding website itself, but not usable.

    Could someone could tell me how to configure it properly, for the moment i get (example i change the name) :

    toto.ovh TTL=0 MX 1 mx4.mail.ovh.net.

    Thanks for your help

    Replace "mx4.mail.ovh.net." with the hostname of your server. Take care that you have a dot at the end when using your server hostname like its done with the ovh mail server.

    Thank you very much Till :)

    Now it works fine to receive it, but unfortunatly it's not working to send it ...

    host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[xx.xx.xx.xx] said:
    550-5.x.xx This mail has been blocked because the sender is
    unauthenticated. 550-5.x.xx Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with
    either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.x.xx 550-5.7.xx Authentication results:
    550-5.x.xx DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.xx SPF [toto.ovh] with
    ip: [51.77.x.x] = did not pass 550-5.x.xx 550-5.x.xx For instructions
    on setting up authentication, go to 550 5.x.xx
    (modified with x and toto.ovh for security)

    I think that somethink else is missing for the sending part ...

    Is there another part that MX which is dealing with sending email ?

    Like the message from GMail reads:
    Code:
    Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with
    either SPF or DKIM. 
    My signature has link to e-mal setup tutorial.
