Build Postal SMTP Server & Send Bulk Emails Step by Step on Ubuntu 22.04
Building a Postal SMTP server to send bulk emails is a good choice for email marketers. Postal is very powerful and backed by a large community of developers. It is an open-source mail server script written in JavaScript and Ruby. It can be used to build in-house SMTP servers just like Mailgun, Sendgrid, Mailchimp, etc.
Postal installation is not very straightforward. The process is fairly complex. It’s because Postal needs several packages to be installed beforehand, it can be used. I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Requirement for Postal SMTP server
- A domain name from Namecheap or Namesilo
- A VPS or cloud with a minimum of 4 GB RAM and 2 vCPU
- Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu 20.04
I am using Contabo for demonstration.
Initial Setup
To start with installation, you will need to connect to the server. If you are on you have to get an SSH client for this purpose. One such SSH client is Putty. But if you are on Linux or Mac, just open the terminal and type ssh@xx.x.x.xxx where xx.x.x.xxx is your server IP address.
First of all switch to root user
sudo -i
After that update and upgrade your Ubuntu
apt update -y
apt upgrade -y
Next set up the hostname. Replace “example.com” with your domain name.
hostnamectl set-hostname mail.example.com
Updating DNS records
Login to the domain registrar and create A record for mail.example.com
Now let’s begin with the installation.
Installing Docker and Docker-Compose
Recently postal team switched to docker mode to make installation easier for the end users. Therefore we need to install Docker and Docker-Compose first. I already have discussed what is docker, docker-compose & installation steps in detail. Feel free to read the article to have a clear understanding of docker.
Installing Docker
First of all, set a few packages to set up the Docker repository
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
Next, add Docker’s official GPG key.
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
Now, you can install the Docker repository using the following commands
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Next update the system software
sudo apt-get update -y
Finally, run the following command to install Docker Engine and containerd.
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
Installing Docker-Compose
First of all download the current stable release of Docker Compose:
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.23.3/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, update the permission to binary
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Also, create a symlink as well
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
Finally, test the docker-compose installation
docker-compose --version
You will see the docker-compose version. If you see anything else this means something has gone wrong.
Installing Additional Prerequisites for Postal SMTP
After installation of Docker and Docker-compose, you need to install a few other packages like Git, MariaDB, RabbitMQ, etc.
So, let’s install them one by one.
First, install git and git curl
apt install git -y
apt install git curl jq
Next clone the postal helper repository
git clone https://postalserver.io/start/install /opt/postal/install
sudo ln -s /opt/postal/install/bin/postal /usr/bin/postal
Installing MariaDB
Now, you can install MariaDB in the docker container
docker run -d \
--name postal-mariadb \
-p 127.0.0.1:3306:3306 \
--restart always \
-e MARIADB_DATABASE=postal \
-e MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=postalpassword \
mariadb
Installing RabbitMQ
RabbitMQ is necessary to process messages and distribute the loads
To install it, run the following commands
docker run -d \
--name postal-rabbitmq \
-p 127.0.0.1:5672:5672 \
--restart always \
-e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=postal \
-e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=password \
-e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST=postalvhost \
rabbitmq:3.8
Now we have installed all the prerequisite packages, it’s time to install Postal
Installing Postal
The postal repository, you installed earlier, is capable of generating some configuration files to use
Run the following command.
postal bootstrap mail.example.com
The above command generates 3 files. Out of which postal.yml is of our interest.
You need to edit the postal.yml and make changes. But before that install an editor. I suggest installing nano.
apt install nano -y
Now to edit postal.yml run the following command
nano /opt/postal/config/postal.yml
You will see output something like this
# The host that the management interface will be available on
host: mail.example.com
# The protocol that requests to the management interface should happen on
protocol: https
web_server:
# Specify configuration for the Postal web server
bind_address: 172.105.33.83
port: 5000
smtp_server:
# Specify configuration to the Postal SMTP server
port: 25
logging:
# Specify options for the logging
stdout: true
main_db:
# Specify the connection details for your MySQL database
host: 127.0.0.1
username: root
password: postalpassword
database: postal
message_db:
# Specify the connection details for your MySQL server that will be house the
# message databases for mail servers.
host: 127.0.0.1
username: root
password: postalpassword
prefix: postal
rabbitmq:
# Specify connection details for your RabbitMQ server
host: 127.0.0.1
username: postal
password: password
vhost: postalvhost
dns:
# Specify the DNS records that you have configured. Refer to the documentation at
# https://github.com/atech/postal/wiki/Domains-&-DNS-Configuration for further
# information about these.
mx_records:
- mail.example.com
smtp_server_hostname: mail.example.com
spf_include: spf.mail.example.com
return_path: rp.mail.example.com
route_domain: routes.mail.example.com
track_domain: track.mail.example.com
smtp:
# Specify an SMTP server that can be used to send messages from the Postal management
# system to users. You can configure this to use a Postal mail server once the
# your installation has been set up.
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 2525
username: # Complete when Postal is running and you can
password: # generate the credentials within the interface.
from_name: Postal
from_address: postal@example.com
rails:
# This is generated automatically by the config initialization. It should be a random
# string unique to your installation.
secret_key: b73a7e04571431c601d19a7688418eb395d059c1ada525dcfd337e978236be759e278367fb7c6773be625265d3d235ee98b4f8405957e4bbd1c4001f367442bf531843f690a1918626179bf297e31d5cd268c2f33339afd19b17ce901a3832bb9a8107f04bf1b702a4da16096141ed5c46cee3f739d3adabf89fa3cfd91f00cf
Cross-check your config file and then save and close the file with CTRL + X.
Initializing Database
Initializing Database is super easy, just execute the following command and you will see database tables were getting created in the output.
postal initialize
After that, it’s time to build postal
postal make-user
You will be asked for the email id, name, and password of the admin user. Type the answer and then go to the next step.
Starting & Running Postal
Starting and running postal is also super easy. Just run the following command.
postal start
You can check the status of postal
postal status
Installing Caddy
This is a new feature added by the Postal team to install SSL automatically.
docker run -d \
--name postal-caddy \
--restart always \
--network host \
-v /opt/postal/config/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile \
-v /opt/postal/caddy-data:/data \
caddy
Now you can go to http://mail.yourdomain.com:5000 and log in using admin credentials. You will see the admin page something like this.
In, the next article we will learn to create an organization, domain management, SMTP creation, etc.
Conclusion
Installing Postal is no longer a complex procedure. Since postal is open source and freeware, it would be a good start.
I totally love your tutorial, you saved me from allt of stress, thank you.. i was able to spin up mine.
Can you update the content with a link to your GitHub for the DNS config
How can i install postal to send 100k + emails by using Ips rotation
You can install postal following this guide and video. But for sending 100k you need to get few IPs to rotate. Let me know if you need my help.
Thanks for your reply. I bought several ips from contabo. I have followed your video and install postal successfuly. I have tried to Build a new mail server in postal, after adding a server name, I click on the build server button, it was just loading and loading without building any server. I can give you my postal login details, so you can see that my postal cannot build mail server
Seems like an issue with mysql connection or perhaps wrong username and password to rabbitmq. Can you cross-check credentials that you entered in postal.yml
If issue doesn’t resolve email me the credentials at contact@inguide.in

Hi, thank you for your tutorials.
I successfully install and use postal to send email from mautic via smtp (mautic on separated vps).
But there is one problem left, i already use 8gb ram vps and the sending speed only around 50 emails/minute.
I already increase the postal worker and do some mysql tuning that I found on postal github.
Is there anything I could do to fix this? At least i need 500 emails/minute rate. I see on github there is a person who could send 300 emails/min with 4gb vps. So in my opinion I could get better performance.
Before this I am using amazon ses via smtp with same mautic and there is no problem with sending speed rate.
Thank you.
postal make-user gives this error, how to solve this pl.

I will investigate into the issue and will update the article accordingly.
I really love your article. Very nice!
I have a question:
I can only access my Postal server by using ‘http//:mail.mydomain.com:5000’ instead of the correct way is ‘https://mail.mydomain.com’ as your guide.
Kindly help me with how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for pointing it out, I have updated the article. If you like to access it to HTTP then use port 80 and for HTTPS use port 443.
Let me know if it didn’t work.
May I know how to access Postal Server to ‘https://mail.mydomain.com’ not using ‘http://mail.mydomain.com:5000’?
Use port 443 instead of port 5000.
Its saying server not found and its not working with https or http plus 5000, 443,80 all not working Please help me fix this. i followed everything correctly and its still not working.
Hi dhiraj rahul i trie 5000 for https as well as http an also 443 for https and http an also port 80 still it didnt work for me please help us.
With http use port 5000
With https no port is required. It will automatically use 443

Please use the docker version of Postal. Older version is now obsolete.
How do you do that ? I have a digitalocean droplet setup from this great post … but I can’t clear the queues and have zero experience with ssh lol. So I was wondering if it’s possible to have cpanel and all that on the same droplet as this or whatever. Really new to this, been a php / cpanel guy for 20 years.
You can install cpanel on docker, provided you have sufficient knowledge.

I configured the SMTP using Postal.
When I sent a test the email the email(s) stays in the queue and it gave me this error.:
SMTP send error
Failure sending mail.
Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed.
How do I remedy?
Perhaps your IP is blacklisted
Thank you for providing such a detailed article, it has been very helpful to me. Continuing with the transportation connection issue, I have verified that my IP is not blacklisted on mxtoolbox. I attempted to send an incoming email, and it was successfully received. Please shed some more lights of any additional hints or use cases that should be checked.
Hi,
Can you please let me know if there is an advantage of getting a server with multipe IP addresses ?
Can a single server use different domains for each of these IP addresses ?
This could help instead of installing multiple servers
Thanks in advance
Yes, it’s beneficial.
Yes, a single server can have different domains and IPs.
thanks very much for your feedback.
The question is, Can Postal handle this, like use many IP addresses and many domains and rotate IP and Domains so that it will reduce the risk of being blacklisted?
Thanks again
Hi

I am getting this message when i am logging on to my mail server – “We’re sorry, but something went wrong.
If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.”
First of all, thank you the detailed tutorial.
I have successfully setup postal and generated my credentials.
I’m running to issues when I try to integrate postal on mailwizz or mautic.
On Mailwizz,
the error is “Cannot send the confirmation email using the data you provided.
×
Here is a transcript of the error message:
Couldn’t send message to API”
I even tried the SMTP credentials to add but for some reason I’m unable to validate my delivery server.
I tested the credentials, tested emails everything works flawlessly but I’m not sure why not the integration.
Please advise.
Thank you
I think you are using incorrect username of postal. Go to credentials > Read more about sending outgoing e-mails
There you will get the username.
Alternatively, you can check your smtp credentials at gmass.co before putting into Mailwizz
Thanks

http://mail.yourdomain.com:5000 is not working on my all broswer . postal step b step completly install but url not open plz help me.
I’m having a problem with postal now. If it send to AOL it won’t be delivered to Outlook or Hotmail. Also Gmail or if I try to complete all this DNS it will start corrupting
Thank you for the great documentation. I am having one issue after running the caddy docker command i am still not able to ssl cert on the login page http access only
Edit the Caddy config file and replace local IP 127.0.0.1 with your server IP. Save Caddy config and run the command again.
i have followed all setups but it is not accessing on browser and shows me access denied message
Try accessing on http not https
Quick question, is there any ways to monitor if the postal smtp goes down or email sending issues?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Earlier when I set up postal SMTP server on ubuntu 18, everything runs smoothly and fine. After updating to Ubuntu 20, my postal SMTP server is breaking all the time and took lots of time to load the postal dashboard as well. What could be the further solution for this?
Thanks
