Note: This feature has been discontinued.

Every day a lot of people posting and complaining about email configurations and settings. We launched the reset of all email configurations and debug on CyberPanel Cloud a long time ago as a paid feature. But now we are making it free. Anyone who connects its server to the cloud can use this feature free of cost.
In this article, we are going to explain how the reset and debug email configurations feature works. CyberPanel Cloud Email debugger is a feature rich and it will solve all email-related issues on your website level and on the server level.
Pre-requirements:
Before going deep into this article we have some pre-requirements that need to meet. There are few things that you just need to check.
- Check required ports status.
- Check Email DNS records.
- Login/Signup to CyberPanel cloud
- Connect your server with CyberPanel cloud
Check required ports status:
If you want to use your server as mail server following ports must be enabled on your server.
Port 25, Port 587, Port 465, Port 110, Port 143, Port 995, Port 993 (at provider level firewall do and if your provider blocks port 25, as them to open it for you). Status of these ports must be opened, if any of these ports is close please check on your server firewall or on provider level and open it. Read more about these ports.
Check Email DNS records:
The second most important thing is the mail dns records. Alway make sure that your MX, DKIM, SPF mail records are set accordingly and also propagated completely. You can check mail server DNS records using different tool like WhatsmyDNS.
