Email Server Setup Guru Needed

Job ID: 37741656

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

We have recently developed a mobile app that requires user registration with a name and email address. To ensure smooth user experience, we are looking to set up our own email server for sending out OTP confirmation emails. Prior to sending emails through SMTP, we aim to verify the deliverability of each email address via API email verification in order to maintain a low bounce rate.

To achieve this, we are seeking your expertise in recommending open source email server software compatible with API email verification services such as Reoon Email Verifier (https://appsumo.com/products/reoon-email-verifier/). All outgoing emails will be sent via SMTP using ports 25, 2525, 465, or 587. Additionally, you will be responsible for configuring the DNS settings for our domain.

Key responsibilities include:
1. Installing an open-source email server client for SMTP email access.
2. Setting up server ports for SMTP access (ports 25, 2525, 465, or 587).
3. Providing all DNS settings for the server, including MX, DMARC, DKIM, and SPF1 settings.
4. Developing an API interface to verify email deliverability before sending, ensuring that undeliverable emails are not sent.
5. Access to set up the email domain and accounts on the server.

We will provide server access for software installation and configuration. Your expertise in this area is crucial to the success of our app. We are looking forward to your valuable input and support.

**Ideal Skills and Experience:**

This project is crucial for my business communications, so I’m looking for someone who can deliver a comprehensive, user-friendly, and secure email server setup. If you have the expertise and are passionate about open-source projects, I am eager to hear from you.
