Need some support, recommendations and how-tos

[Øystein Thune]

Hi

I have a 16GB 4 cores Ubuntu 16.04 VPS and I have installed Mailwizz. I will use it for 3-4 customers with lists from 10 to 50 000 subcribers. They require their own sending domains.

I will prefer to send through the VPS with maybe Postix?? (which I have installed). But now I'm not sure how I shall proceed setting this up safe and secure and the best way for Mailwizz to connect to the delivery server. I think I could just use the php mail function, but not sure if that's a good solution.

So I need some (paid) support/guidance setting up the best delivery/bounce servers solutuion etc for these 3 customers.

Add a SMTP server type to your local postfix.

It isn't. php's mail() spawns sendmail each time which is not efficient, this is why you have to connect using the smtp protocol.

Thank you very much for answering.

I have read this page: https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ix-as-a-send-only-smtp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04

But choosing SMTP as a delivery server in Mailwizz require a smtp user with password. I can useradd some users in Ubuntu, but I'm not really sure what's recommended here (do I need a user for eache customer/delivery server?)

Well, as you can see. I need some help from experts

Mailwizz require a smtp user with password

Not quite, you can leave those blank, mailwizz does not require them, so first of all, try like that

I also found this in case you really need to create the users.

Ok, thanks. I will try this
