Configure email server and receive email from internet like gmail/hotmailetc

I want to configure own email server. I have windows server 2008 R2 OS (subscribed from one VPS provider). My requirement is as below: 1. Create new email addresses as and when required with @mydomain.com 2. Receive emails on these new Email address from outside network sender like Gmail/Hotmail etc 3. Read emails

I have bought one domain with Godaddy. I asked them steps but they confused me with get name from your web hosting where you have OS hosted and get your Name Server name and MX record entry. I couldn't figured out these information.

Can somebody please help me to achieve what I want to do?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Firstly, you have to configure your domain nameservers.

    To do that, you have to Registering and Editing Your Own Nameservers

    Then, set them going to GoDaddy's How to set Custom Nameservers

    Once you create and set this, you have to wait up to 24 hours .

    After your domain is ready to use, you have to install a mail server application on your server.
