Enabling Inbound Email for Go Daddy Cloud Servers
MikeDYou can configure your Go Daddy Cloud Server network to receive inbound email messages, if it isn’t already enabled by default. For example, if you want to host email for your domain name, or receive email messages from the Internet, you must set up an email path.
NOTE: This post only lists the steps for configuring the appropriate communication paths for inbound email. Configuring the Postfix or Sendmail mail servers to specifically receive messages for your domain name is outside the scope of this post.
The root user must execute all of the following commands.
- Create a port forward rule for TCP port 25 (SMTP) to the virtual machine which is running the mail server. See Adding Port Forwarding to Your Go Daddy Cloud Server for details.
- Inside the mail server virtual machine, adjust the Postfix or Sendmail configuration to listen for SMTP connections on all interfaces:
- Postfix (CentOS 6.x, Ubuntu)
- Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and change inet_interfaces = localhost to inet_interfaces = all
- Sendmail (CentOS 5.x, Fedora 16)
- Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl to DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
- Run the following command: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
- Postfix (CentOS 6.x, Ubuntu)
- Finally, restart the mail server.
- For CentOS or Fedora VMs, use the service sendmail restart or service postfix restart command
- For Ubuntu, use initctl restart postfix
