I'm looking for a tutorial or guide to configure SendMail on a working IncrediblePBX 13-13 VPS server on HostedSimply, or more generically, any cloud provider. The information found in the thread for configuring SendMail for Comcast or GMail for outgoing email services doesn't appear to apply in this situation.
My HostedSimply VPS does have access to ports 25 and 587 (no 465). This is confirmed by "telnet cutedgesystems.com 25" and "telnet cutedgesystems.com 587" at an ssh prompt - i.e., does not time out.
Is a "real" DNS host name (CNAME) required that points to the VPS server? (I only added a CNAME record to the DNS service, but no MX entries. Entering "CNAME.domain.net" in a browser results only in a general 'welcome' page.) What about MX records - or do these settings apply only to 'incoming' email?
What edits are required in the sendmail configuration files?
Are edits required in IPTables or Fail2Ban to allow communication via ports 25 and/or 587?
Thanks in advance! Guidance is appreciated.
