Hello Linode Developers,

I am new to vps and joined Linode a few weeks ago. I have difficulties in email sending problem. I setup wordpress sites in my linode. WordPress comments, sign up, forget password, anyemail are not working. So, I followed the steps as Linode docs said

Here is the first step I try, it doesn't work for me
https://www.linode.com/docs/email/exim/ ... e-pangolin

So, How should I make it work?

Next things, I am not sure about that documentation is working properly or not?????? Have they tested it or not??

Sharing the errors you are getting, the version of WordPress you're using, the distro (and version) that you are using, etc would be helpful for someone trying to help.

this is the error message that I got from /Mailbox/new/Emailfilename13454

This is a test.

This is how I configure the hosts file

Here is my hosts file configuration from /etc/hosts, 
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1       linuxbox.creativeocean.net      linuxbox
45.XX.XXX.45    mail.creativeocean.net  mail

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable h
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

Please help me, Thanks in advanced

There may be more than one issue but so far, this error message:

is basically saying that you don't have reverse DNS configured for your Linode's IPv6 address. Google is complaining about it and wants you to fix it.

Here's some information we have on reverse DNS (PTR) records: https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/ ... everse-dns
