Re: Installing iredmail on seperate server

I don't quite understand your point.

*) iRedMail is for mail service, it's ok to deploy it on a separate server.
*) Is "example.com" on production server a mail domain name, or a web site?
*) You can deploy web site on one server, and mail service on another server. Mail service requires DNS MX record, web site uses DNS A record.

Thank you for the response. I have configured my mail server(examplemail.com) to send and receive emails from example.com.

I'm facing two problems right now.

a) The email sent from iredmail(Roundcube) panel ends up in spam folder. I have pointed the dkim and spf records to the right values. The view source option in the email shows that both spf and dkim passes. But still ends up in spam folder.

b) If i send an email from gmail or hotmail to contact@example.com, it takes almost 5-10 minutes to receive the new mail. Work arounds?

Re: Installing iredmail on seperate server

*) DKIM/SPF help prevent your email to be marked as spam, but it doesn't mean it won't be marked as spam. Also, it depends on spam rules on recipient server.
*) Caused by Greylisting, it's enabled by iRedMail. Check http://greylisting.org/ to understand how it works.
