Hey man
Setting up an affordable SMTP relay on your cPanel server for personal use with a volume of less than 10,000 emails per month can be done using a third-party SMTP service. Here's a step-by-step guide to help
Step 2: Sign up for an Account
Sign up for an account with your chosen SMTP relay service. During the signup process, you may need to provide some personal information and verify your email address.
Step 3: Configure DNS Records
To ensure successful email delivery, you need to configure the necessary DNS records for your domain. This typically involves adding SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) records. The specific steps for DNS configuration will depend on your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider.
Step 4: Obtain SMTP Credentials
After setting up your account with the SMTP relay service, you'll need to obtain the SMTP credentials required for authentication. These credentials usually consist of an SMTP server address, a port number, a username, and a password. Make sure to keep these credentials secure.
Step 5: Configure SMTP Settings in cPanel
Access your cPanel account and locate the "Email" or "Email Accounts" section. Look for the option to configure SMTP settings or email relays. Enter the SMTP server address, port number, username, and password provided by the SMTP relay service. Save the settings
