  • @Madchatthew for the time being at least, yes. This makes the most sense and means the WordPress site can send email.

    Setting up postfix to be a relay isn’t difficult, but seems pointless given that once you pay the first invoice to Hetzner you can turn make full use of it. As you are running virtualmin, it’ll work right out of the gate.

    @phenomlab Sounds good. Thank you again very much!

    So I have gone with gmail with my wifes website to deliver mail and it is working great. With the other website, I think I am going to go with one of the other ones due to them not having a gmail email.

    Which one of those top do you recommend? I was thinking of using the first one or Mailgun since I have used them before. If one of the other ones is better, please let me know. Or if there is one listed that you like better, let me know too.

    Thanks again!

    @Madchatthew mailgun would be my recommendation here. I think they also have a free plan if I’m not mistaken.

  • "I’ve been following this thread — super helpful explanations about MX, relay hosts and port restrictions. Many self-hosted mail setups eventually hit the same deliverability issues, especially when using fresh IPs.

    When I was researching SMTP relays and self-hosted mail reliability, I started keeping a comparison list of tools and services in one place: https://bestaitables.com/
    – not about hosting specifically, but includes several SMTP/ESP providers that can help avoid Postfix deliverability headaches while ports / IP reputation settle.

    If anyone has long-term experience with self-hosted SMTP + DNS set-ups that remain stable, would be great to hear which configurations worked best."

    @Panda said in Spam spam spam: ok, yes Ive seen the queue, it shows IP, but doesnt have a field for comments from registrant. It’s not designed for that. It merely serves as a gateway between posts appearing on your form or not. @Panda said in Spam spam spam: It would be better if nodebb had this plugin included in ACP list, as not only then do you know its approved and should work, but many people cant or dont want to use CLI on the server That’s a question for the NodeBB devs but in all honesty you can’t not use the CLI when installing nodebb so to be this isn’t a big deal.

    @Panda it will use SMTP. In all cases, I never use any plugin to send email. I’ll always send it raw.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.
