  • Install PowerMTA

    Install the requirments

    yum install unzip net-tools telnet git gdb -y
    

    If you already have a mail server remove it.

    yum remove postfix -y
    

    If you want to keep current mail server, you can run PowerMTA on a port other than 25.

    cd /root/PMTA/
    unzip PowerMTA5.0r1.zip
    cd /root/PMTA/PowerMTA5.0r1
    yum install PowerMTA-5.0r1-201909161531.x86_64.rpm
    service pmta stop
    service pmtahttp stop
    rm -f /usr/sbin/pmtad
    rm -f /usr/sbin/pmtahttpd
    cd  /root/PMTA/PowerMTA5.0r1/usr/sbin
    cp * /usr/sbin
    chmod -R 755 /usr/sbin/pmta
    chmod -R 755 /usr/sbin/pmtad
    chmod -R 755 /usr/sbin/pmtahttpd
    cp /root/PMTA/PowerMTA5.0r1/license /etc/pmta
    

    Restart PowerMTA

  • PowerMTA IP Rotation

    To setup IP rotation in PowerMTA, configure multiple IP on the server. Setup rDNS for each of these IP, point a sub domain to these IPs same as the reverse DNS entry.

    Here is an exable

    First we need to edit DNS records. Add folowing A records.

    pmta1.sevrerok.in    A       176.123.8.12
    pmta2.sevrerok.in    A       176.123.8.13 
    pmta3.sevrerok.in    A       176.123.8.17
    

    Set up rDNS (reverse DNS/PTR Record) with your server provider.

    176.123.8.12 > pmta1.sevrerok.in
    176.123.8.13 > pmta2.sevrerok.in
    176.123.8.17 > pmta3.sevrerok.in
    

    Edit PowerMTA config file

    vi /etc/pmta/config
    

    Find your virtual-mta configuration, replace it with

    
        smtp-source-host 176.123.8.12 pmta1.sevrerok.in
        domain-key default,*,/etc/pmta/default.sevrerok.in.pem
        
        max-msg-rate 400/h
        
    
    
    
        smtp-source-host 176.123.8.13 pmta2.sevrerok.in
        domain-key default,*,/etc/pmta/default.sevrerok.in.pem
        
        max-msg-rate 400/h
        
    
    
    
        smtp-source-host 176.123.8.17 pmta3.sevrerok.in
        domain-key default,*,/etc/pmta/default.sevrerok.in.pem
        
        max-msg-rate 400/h
        
    
    
    
        virtual-mta pmta1
        virtual-mta pmta2
        virtual-mta pmta3

  • PowerMTA route mails through another SMTP server for a domain

    Edit PowerMTA config file

    vi /etc/pmta/config
    

    Add folowing

    
        queue-to amazon-ses.route
    
    
    
        auth-username USER_NAME_HERE
        auth-password PASSWORD_HERE
        route email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:587
