How to Set Up Your Mail for Sending Emails

Setting up your mail system is essential for sending out emails efficiently. This guide will walk you through the process of registering at mail send, setting up your domain, and configuring your SMTP server.

Step 1: Registering and Setting Up Domain

First, you need to register at mail send. This will enable you to send out emails. For demonstration purposes, we will list our company as "fast pocket" and use a temporary email. Skip the introduction and proceed to add your domain.

Step 2: Domain Management

Next, go to your domain management. You can either log in or create an account. Note that your domain might be hosted differently depending on your provider. For this demonstration, we are using "pkon."

Step 3: Adding the Domain

Add your domain to the system. If you have already set up some of this, you might have screenshots or records saved.

Step 4: Domain Verification

You will receive a domain verification screen. Update your DNS to contain the following records:

Create a text record for DKIM.
Create a CNAME record for MTA.
Create a text record for SPF.

Step 5: Creating SMTP Sender

Create an SMTP sender by first clicking on the domain or managing the domain. Scroll down to the SMTP section and create an SMTP user. Enter your SMTP name, which can be the domain name.

Step 6: Configuring Pocket Base Server

Load up Pocket Base and go to settings, then mail settings. Use the SMTP mail server and enter the details you configured earlier. Save the changes.

Step 7: Sending Test Email

To verify your setup, send a test email to yourself or a test account. Make sure the email is coming from the correct domain.
