I used the ISO image so it would be the distro too.
Sorry. I donât use such method. They are all clean Debian 8 snapshots.
@dicko you would not be a new account.
@netphoneusa just ask for it to be unblocked. Theyâre just doing this to stop spammers from getting a vultr machine and using them as a relay. If you get it done within 14 days, you wonât even lose any email, as itâll all be queued up on your machine.
I think I will try Linode - they donât block 25 to begin with. I will just have to install FREEPBX the old fashioned way
So what youâre saying is that you would rather give money to people that donât try to stop spammers. Do you honestly think thatâs a good idea?
While initially inconvenient, this seems like a good way for hosting providers to avoid having their entire IP range just being permanently blacklisted by email services.
xrobau - I donât like the hoops that Vultr makes me go through just to open a port 25. Common sense says if I am using a Freepbx distro, I need that open.
So, answer their questions. They seemed pretty painless. âI am using it to send voicemail emails to emailserver.comâ should answer all of it.
The other option is to use TLS, and not use port 25. You can configure that in System Admin (or, you can edit the postfix file manually if you donât want to use Sysadmin)
This is not an uncommon thing. For example, Google will not accept any email over ipv6 at all unless it has a valid reverse DNS.
Donât I have to have the commercial paid system admin to change to TLS in the gui?
I believe thatâs correct. If you donât have it (as I said above) you can just edit the postfix configuration manually.
You should use Certman to generate your SSL certificate first, and that will keep it up to date automatically. So you can just make postfix use that cert.
I have Freepbx 14 - at the very top of the install wiki it says âCommercial modules can not be installed on Freepx 14â. Does that mean I cannot install System admin pro?
The install wiki when youâre NOT installing from ISO.
SOLVED - I was able to get Vultr to open up port 25. I was going to go elsewhere like Linode but it is so much easier to upload the ISO image (distro) using vultr. Once they opened the port and I rebooted the server, emails started pouring in.
