setup email from my custom domain [urbanshed.in]

[urbanshed]

hi there,

my username is urbanshed and my doman name is urbanshed.in that is working good. my dns records are set by cloudflare account. i have setup the A/AAA records to my ip and it is working fine, but i dont know which DNS enteries i have to make for setting up mails in, also i need spf, dmarc and dkim to be setup,

can you please help me how can I do that? I have created mail account with plesk earlier but it was not working, and i didn't find any useful info here: Cloudflare DNS Records - HelioHost Wiki

For SPF, use this (leave the name field blank, use this as value):

"v=spf1 include:tommy.heliohost.org ~all"

For DMARC, enter the name as _dmarc, and use this value:

 "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine"

For DKIM, the record needs to be generated in Plesk under the mail settings as its unique to each user. Turn it on, apply the settings, then click the ? next to the DKIM settings and it will show you the correct records to use.

Things that I have already done:

1) I added the records in cloudflare for DMARC, SPF, and DKIM as well.
2) my A record urbanshed.in is set to ip address of the tommy server (website is working fine).
3) I have created mail account with name admin@urbanshed.in and I have completed the setup.

Problems:

1) I have setup the webmail option as well, but on webmail. a page is opening with webmail.urbanshed.in and it is showing an error. (i have attached the jpg)
2) I am setting up mail server client (Thunderbird and Outlook) both are having connection issue and unable to connect. (i have attached the jpg)

I have tried Manual setup as well (i have attached the jpg)

I must be missing something, please help me to make this work.

For webmail, did you reenable it? Back in May it was disabled globally to fix 503 server errors.

yes i have re-enabled it, i can wait for some time for webmail but login to mail client is giving me errors (thunderbird and outlook)

my mxrecord was setup to cloudflare email routing, i have disabled it and added a new mx record to [mydomain]
i have added dmarc, spf and dkim on cloudflare but still no luck in logging via mail client.

I have solved the issue, and I am just documenting here so that if anyone with similar problem can find the solution.

my domain name urbanshed.in was proxied by cloudflare that is why it was not working.
I created another A record with mail.[mydomain] to my server (not proxied dns only)
MX records changed to [mydomain]  mail.[mydomain]
reissue SSL certificates from plesk interface so that it covers my newly added mail.[mydomain]


thanks everyone for the help.
