    Using the VPS mail service in cPanel

    On our VPS's you can always use our mail service free of charge, also referred to as 'Carefree Mailing'. With this service you will use our mail services to relay outgoing e-mail. In order to use the mail service, a one-time configuration in WHM of Exim on your VPS is required.

    When using the mail service you will no longer have to worry about mails being delivered in the spamfolder due to incorrect reverse DNS or SPF-records, or because a blacklist is blocking mails from your IP-address.

    To successfully set this up you will need to perform some configuration changes on your VPS to make sure your VPS and domains are properly authenticated for the use of our platform.

    The easiest method for configuring the mail service is using the wizard in the control panel. Click here to immediately be taken to the wizard.


    Configuring Exim manually

    Use these steps if you're not using the wizard. First, consult this article if you haven't already, in order to retrieve your username and password, as well as to configure the required DNS records for your domain. Then, follow the steps below in WHM.

     

    Step 1

    Log in to WHM and go to Home > Service Configuration > Exim Configuration Manager. Once there, click the 'Basic Editor' tab.

    whm exim configuration manager


     

    Step 2

    Search for Smarthost Support under the tab labeld Mail. Provide the smart host name * vps.transip.email Please note there's a space between the * (asterisk) and the host name. Then, click on Save.

    whm exim smarthost support


     

    Step 3

    In the top, click on the tab 'Advanced Editor' and scroll down to Section: ROUTERSTART. If you prefer using the mail limits as configured in cPanel, instead scroll down to Section: POSTMAILCOUNT.

    Add the code below under Section: POSTMAILCOUNT or Section: ROUTERSTART (tip: search your browser for postmailcount or routerstart with ctrl + f):

    remoteserver_route:
      driver = manualroute
      transport = remoteserver_relay
      domains = !+local_domains
      route_list = * vps.transip.email

    whm exim transportstart


     

    Stap 4

    Scroll down / search for Section: TRANSPORTSTART and add:

    remoteserver_relay:
      driver = smtp
      port = 587
      hosts_require_auth = $host_address
      hosts_require_tls = $host_address

    whm exim transportstart


     

    Stap 5

    Now scroll down to / search for Section: AUTH and add the code below (replace user@domain.com : password by your own user name and password) :

    remoteserver_login:
      driver = plaintext
      public_name = LOGIN
      hide client_send = : user@domain.com : password

    whm exim auth


     

    Stap 6

    At the end of the page, click 'Save' to have the changes take effect. Your now ready to start using the VPS mail service!
