Email Sending Error

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">https://www.linode.com/docs/email/exim/sendonly-mail-server-with-exim-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-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

Please help me, Thanks in advanced

There may be more than one issue but so far, this error message:
> 550-5.7.1 [2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe67:ec43] Our system has detected that this

550-5.7.1 message does not meet IPv6 sending guidelines regarding PTR records
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">https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/dns/setting-reverse-dns
