Create Your Own Email Server (Free Quick Setup) with CyberPanel

(In the video I'm using a Vultr VPS to host.)

In this video we cover how to setup your own free email server in just a few minutes. In this video we user Cyberpanel to do this, which is a great free email panel that is easy to setup and use.

This is a great video for anyone who wants to learn how to create their own email server, or just needs to set up an email server for testing purposes. We cover how to create an email server for a webmail client, a simple mail client, or a POP3/IMAP4 server. We also cover how to setup email for sending SMTP mail for your applications like WordPress.

Note there are some VPS providers may not allow email by default as a security measure, but will unblock it if you request it through support. So check with your provider if you run into any issues.

I've covered setting up Cyberpanel from the command line a few times on the channel too, e.g.

Vultr had a one click installer which saves a few steps, but really the command line method is just a single command and selecting a few options (takes about 1 extra minute).

Very nice tutorial! Thanks for this! Do you maybe know if there is a way people would be able to create a new e-mail address by themselves?

Hi,
Thanks for this great video!
What do you recommend for sending email newsletters?
Is there any limitation? Right now we use some paid services for sending newsletters.

Wow was realy pissed i couldnt get my mail working, i tried multiple videos, and this one worked at the first try. Thank you very much !!

[backyardbque]

great video thanks for sharing, if you so desire can you limit access to the email gateway by using a MAC address filter?

[HipamoHomeBusinessNetwork]

Hi Alex, great tutorial. Understandable, simple and for everyone to follow. Compliments. Would you also like to do a tutorial on Oracle Free Cloud with an SMTP mail server and Mautic installation?👌👋👍

[Frankie_Freedom]

Going back on what I commented earlier, I think I'm going to migrate to Vultr as it didn't seem like you needed to contact support to allow port 25, as you do with Linode

Hey Alex,
As usual, some of the easiest to follow instructions for some of the trickiest projects, you are a legend kind sir!

Anyone figured out if it’s possible and how to set up a vultr/cyberpanel with several web domains and a second vultr/cyberpanel with tge matching email domains? Thereby separating email from web on same server. Is it even necessary?
