Hi,

Today i been migrating couple cpanels to vesta, all seems to be working, unless the mail.domain.com smtp... people started to call me telling their mails were not working properly, and i checked that they couldn't connect their smtp to mail.domain.com, it only can connect to the vesta hostname.
Is this normal?

Thanks!

Basically on cpanel each domain had their own SMTP mail.domain.com, here it is not working i can only connect for example gmail to hostname as smtp.. server.domain.com.

is there anyway each domain could have a mail.domain.com smtp? otherwise i need to call all my customers to change their smtps conections manually

Thanks for your answer,

before posting i tried to do that without success because after disabling the SSL i was not able to enable it again.

Lets say domain blabla1.com was configured before on cpanel smtp with mail.blabla1.com, i should add mail.blabla1.com alias to my admin hostname ?

thanks

yes, add it to your admin hostname.

do you have letsencrypt as ssl on your hostname ?

alternatively, buy comercial ssl for mail.domain.com and put it as hostname ssl.
in that case just accept invalid ssl on 8083 port in your browser, because it will be valid only for mail.domain.com

Hi,

I was able to do it, but then later i restarted the vesta service, and now i'm not able to acess the panel at all, it says some error about the ssl :(
Any idea? because i can acess websites, mails, but can't acess the panels...

Hm, obviously you entered something wrong in SSL fields.
My suggestion is:

Code: Select all

v-update-host-certificate admin yourhostnbame.com
systemctl restart vesta
If it does not help, then:

Code: Select all

v-install-unsigned-ssl yourhostname.com
v-update-host-certificate admin yourhostname.com
systemctl restart vesta
