PRO TIP - any time you make changes to authentication settings on a system - ssh, pam, sudoers, and so on - open a second root terminal to that system and leave it open until AFTER you verify your changes worked correctly, so you don't get locked out of your system. Great stuff as always, Luke.

Thanks DistroTube for the awesome tutorial!

[@milesrout]

Luke it appears you've got yourself confused between SSH keys and GPG keys. The keypair used to log into your server and copied to your server with ssh-copy-id is an SSH keypair. Your GPG key can be used to encrypt files on your computer or for email (or for many other things). But they aren't used for SSH. The command people should run before ssh-copy-id is ssh-keygen -t ed25519 OR ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 (never use dsa or ecdsa, dsa is insecure and ecdsa is standardised by the NSA and probably insecure)

[@chunkmeister88]

Comments from following this tutorial on May 22, 2022 (05/22/2022) using a vultr server: Some ufw commands were needed to open up the ports and get everything working. If you're having trouble accessing your website (17:51) or logging in with thunderbird (33:36), try running the following commands: access website: ufw allow 'Nginx Full' - this opens up ports 80 and 443 connect email client: ufw allow SMTP - this opens up port 25 (outgoing mail from server)*** ufw allow IMAPS - this opens up port 993 (retrieve mail from server) ufw allow "Mail submission" - this opens up port 587 (submit mail from client to be sent by server) *** This has been mentioned in other comments, but outgoing emails will not work until vultr unblocks port 25. You'll need to submit a support ticket to get this done.

It's important to know (idk if Luke said it or not). That Vultr and almost every VPS blocking port 25, so you can't send emails, but still can receive it. To open port 25 in Vultr you need to open support ticket, describe for what purposes do you need opened 25 port and then you need to wait at least 30 days, then you will get your 25 port. Please note that!

Important Note: If you're using Vultr, you may have to contact their support to inquire about the e-mail ports being opened or not, depending on your location. I had to have 'em open them up manually to get outbound mail working.

[@DennisChaves]

I just opened a support ticket with Vultr because it's also not working for me. I'm wondering if you had the same problem as me... Thunderbird won't connect. So I checked systemd on the server to find that dovecot failed to start because UFW blocked it. So I set UFW to allow ports 993 & 587 but still no go. Did that happen to you too?

[@HushedDeath]

@@DennisChaves That didn't happen with my case here, thankfully. The main issue I remember was the block they have administratively in Vultr's infrastructure for outbound mail. They may ask you a few details about what you're planning to do with the server and how much traffic you expect [they asked me], so just be prepared for that. :)

[@stanasjes979]

This is awesome, but what holds me back from making my own mail server is the maintenance. I can follow this tutorial well enough, but when something goes wrong a couple years down the road, I'll be high and dry with no email. I'd really appreciate videos about what maintaining a mail server is like and how to diagnose the problem when something goes wrong. Also, a question: both the Vultr account and the certbot wizard require an email address. I would want to use my personal mail server as my primary (and, if possible, only) email, so can I use it for Vultr, Epik, and certbot? It seems like there might be a problem with using an email account as the credential for the hosting service which is hosting that same email account. If not, it seems like I need a second email account. What would be the best option for this?
