Shared SMTP Server Configuration
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I need an SMTP service configured on my existing shared-hosting account so I can reliably send transactional and marketing emails to external mailboxes hosted by other providers. The host already allows email traffic; what’s missing is a properly secured SMTP stack and the testing that proves it works.
Here is what I expect:
• You install or enable the necessary SMTP software on the shared cPanel/Plesk environment, configure SPF, DKIM and a clean PTR if the panel supports it.
• The connection must be locked down with SSL/TLS so that any mail client or script can authenticate on port 465 or 587.
• Provide me with the final server name, port, username, password (or application credential) and a quick README outlining how to switch between authenticated and unauthenticated routes if ever required.
• We finish with a test: you send a message from the server to at least two external addresses of my choosing; I’ll confirm it lands in the inbox and passes standard checks with no SPF or DKIM failures.
All changes should stay within the limits of a shared hosting plan—no root-level tweaks that violate the provider’s terms. If you have previously dealt with cPanel/DirectAdmin or similar environments, this will be a quick job; robust email-queue monitoring knowledge is a bonus.
