You have WowHTTP enabled with a 200MBps connection and TV, but you're facing issues with receiving emails. Googling SMTP relay doesn't help since it's not working on your side. The firewall logs show no traffic, yet the server says it can't send. Pop3 and IMAP are blocked by WowHTTP. To set up a mail server at home, you could create a VM that forwards AWS mail to your local server using SMTP relay or another method.
I've containerized MailCow and it's not working with emails. What should I do next?
Mail systems use SMTP for sending and receiving messages... as mentioned before, it's common for ISPs to block certain ports like 25, 465, or 587, which can stop emails from reaching the server. Often, a higher-tier service is needed to resolve this issue.
The setup details weren't specified. It seems there are questions about static IPs, DNS records, mail servers, reverse DNS, and email deliverability. There may be challenges with reverse DNS matching and needing to whitelist IP addresses. After overcoming those issues, you need to verify you're not an open relay and configure spam filters. Hosting your own email server at home is complicated compared to using a VPS, which offers more flexibility and reliability.
I understand the situation. I considered using G Suite’s relay to handle the blacklist, but the IP address shifting was an issue I kept in mind. Since I currently have a dynamic IP, it probably won’t work. They also mentioned that incoming ports are often blocked, making it unsuitable. Renting a VM is another option for me, but I tried it to save on storage costs instead of paying for services like Amazon per GB. I’m likely to stick with G Suite until I upgrade to a business account or get a static IP so incoming ports can be opened for me.
