Then for sslts tls certificate It should be available if you have Followed the previous step and issued This wildcard ssl certificate For this testing purpose i have not Issued it but i will show you later So you have to select the let’s encrypt Certificate here and then take this Option also use dkim spam settings and Then after this all you have to do is Apply here okay okay so you will see This message that mail settings have Been updated successfully on my website You will find all the necessary dns Records that are required for your Emails to work Log into your namecheap dashboard and From here select the domain and click on Manage if you’re using any other domain Registrar like godaddy bluehost or any Other registrar all you have to do is go To google and search for How to update dns records in Your hosting company or domain registrar Name and you will find fi and you will Find step-by-step instructions with Screenshot to do that for some popular Registrar i will mention the links on my Blog post so you can also read it from There Okay so for example to create these Records and name namecheap I will go here and then go to the Advanced dns and for the advanced dns
Option to work make sure the name Servers are selected named basic dns Here in the host record sections you Will see that i have already created the Necessary records I will also click on show more so there Are so many records that you have to add I will show you an example how to do This So you have to click on add new record Here Then select the record type So you can see in the table here for Example this is the record type is txt And the host is this so i will just copy This here Go back to namecheap and then scroll Down and you will see this options txt Record type And in host name type Paste this and then in value You have to Copy the value from here And paste it here Make sure there are no spaces extra Spaces and then click on this stick icon But i have already recorded uh added These records so it will not be added As a duplicate record So that’s how simple it is to add these Records Uh you can See the record in the table and add Everything just replace the server ip
Everything in red here your domain.com To your real domain name and the server Ip with your server ip which you can Find from here In the url or also in the world vulture Control panel from here And there is one important record which Is required this is the dkim record okay So you will have to find it from the Plus control panel i will show you how To do it in place control panel click Here And you will see all the email settings Go to the email settings tab here And from here you will have to select The right domain So i will select this domain And from here you can also change the Bound settings or forward message or Reject options later also So here you can see i’m using the let’s Encrypt certificate issued for this Domain And i have this so from here you can get The dkim record just click on this Option how to configure external dns and From here you will see this option to do So use the dkm dns records given below So i have already shown you this part How to add that so this is the important Thing we need which is in quotes here From the here to here So just copy from here and you can add The record like this i have already
Added it You can see this is my dkim record Okay And you can you will have to also add This which i have mentioned in the table Here so this is the second And you can also find it at another Place i will show you another way how to Do it Go to websites and domains here select The correct domain here then go to Hosting and dns then go to dns settings Here Make sure that this option is uh You have enabled this option so right Now it is enabled so it will show the Disable option if you click it it will Disable These settings Okay so i make sure if it is showing Like this make sure to click on this Enable option So this will allow the plus control Panel to manage the dns okay so then you Will see all these records and from here You can see the dkim record all you have To do is just copy and paste it in your Domain registrar records Okay so that’s how simple it is And if you think that these are too many Records that you have to copy and paste There is a second method to do it You will have to use the glue records And then you can add your name servers
Like this Ns1.yourdomain.comms2.yourdomain.com So what you have to do is go to google And search how to add glue records for Every domain registrar the interface is Slightly different so i will show you an Example of my name chip and this will Not work if you are using something like Cloudflare Because cloudflare doesn’t allow you to Use records you will have to manually Copy and paste these records there So in Namecheap you have to go to this Advanced dns tab From here You will have to Go to here this option personal dns Server Then register these name servers so Example you have to type ns1 and then Paste the ip address I will get the ip address from here I have already added this record so Let’s see what so just paste the ip Address here click on done Okay so it’s showing it has been updated Successfully Now let’s search for this So we can also Click on Ns1 dot Click on search if the record you added Is working then you will see the ip
Address it is pointing to Okay and similarly you will have to add Ns2 option also click on add name server From here click on Ns2 and paste the ip and then click on Done Okay similarly if i i have already added That so i will show you it is there So you can see it is pointing to the Correct ip of the server okay Now you can do is Go to domain here And as you normally do use the custom Dns option Okay Go to ns1 Dot Yt dot xyz and Ns2 dot The domain Okay and then take this option okay so That will be very easy and simple to do And all the future settings that needs To be changed will happen automatically And it is much easier to do So this is another way to do it i’ve Shown you method two and then we have to Check that if our emails are not working That you are able to receive emails but Not send emails Then that means that port 25 is blocked So you can check for if port 25 is Blocked for your ip server or not to do So you have to visit this website so i
Will put a link to this website in the Description similar just paste your Ip address server ip address and then Import set 25 And then click on check so if it is Showing that it is open then everything Will work fine else you will have to Submit a support ticket to get the port 25 open just tell them that you want to Use it for non-marketing purpose only WordPress and other transaction emails They should open it if you do not abuse Their service so that should be easy Okay so now let’s create an email Address and let’s see if we can send Emails and receive emails also for that Go to plus control panel here Go to this email settings from here And then click on create email address Okay so here just type like support Add the rate select the domain for which You want to create the email address Make sure that you have added the Correct record for each domains if you Want to create um email with Let’s say i want to create with this Second domain i have not created the Appropriate dns records required for This domain so if i create an email Address it will not work it will only Work with this main domain for which i Have added all the dns records okay So you can untick this option if you do Not want this username to be used as to
