VPS cPanel SMTP Email Setup
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
I’m running my own VPS with cPanel and need someone to configure everything so my marketing emails actually reach inboxes instead of spam. The plan is to send directly from the server—no MailChimp or other third-party platforms—so the SMTP service on the box must be tuned, authenticated, and fully tested.
You’ll connect, set up and verify SMTP on my domain, handle SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, adjust Exim (or Postfix if that’s what you prefer), and make sure rDNS/PTR matches. Once done, a quick deliverability test (Mail-Tester or similar) should show a clean score and my first small batch of marketing messages should send without errors.
Deliverables
• Correctly configured SMTP on my VPS/cPanel account
• Updated DNS with working SPF, DKIM, DMARC and matching PTR record
• Proof of a successful inbox-placement test for a sample marketing email
That’s it—once everything is green and I can hit “send” with confidence, the job is complete.
