@gotwf said in Email issue (virturalmin):
@jac Typically you want your domain’s MX records to point to FQDN server name, e.g. foo.example.eg
% drill stockportcounty.fans mx

Yours do not. Although a bit more drillin’ and reverse lookup indicates thusly;
% drill stockportcounty.fans

I think you probably want your mx record to point to vps.stockportcountry.fans.
It is important for forward and reverse lookups for MX records jive. Maybe you are looking like a spammer in that they do not?
Edit: But at least you have a reverse record, many spammers do not, so that is a big red flag.
Thanks for the advice, will look into it all later once back home.
