Tests
We check the connection of domain1.com with ip 0.0.0.0 to domain2.com
pmta resolve --connect --source=domain1.com,0.0.0.0 domain2.com
Let's check DNS routing to the server and check its availability (for example mail.ru)
pmta resolve --connect mail.ru
Now let's make sure the mail server is ready to accept our letter.
Transmission trace (for example, on mail.ru)
pmta trace mail.ru
Manual PMTA configuration
What is a PMTA configuration file?
This is a file located in the etc/pmta/ folder on the server with pmta installed, which is responsible for the rules for sending mail from a particular domain/ip address.
In short, how the mailing to a particular mail service will take place will depend on this particular file.
Two files are responsible for the configuration of your server, config and virtualhost.txt
After each editing of these files, you must restart the config with the command: The config pmta reload
file contains all static information, and the virtualhost.txt file contains dynamic information (your domains and ip addresses). But in fact it is the same file.
The line include /etc/pmta/virtualhost.txt connects virtualhost .

I have a question and I hope there is an expert to answer.
My question regarding the sending domains
Let's say that I have domain X1.COM , X2.COM and X3.COM
<virtual-mta pmta-vmta1> smtp-source-host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX server.B1.com
#domain-key dkim,b1.com,/home/admin/conf/mail/B1.com/dkim.pem
#domain-key default,*,/var/cpanel/domain_keys/private/example.com
<domain *>
max-msg-rate 400/h
</domain>
</virtual-mta>
The hostname here is : SERVER.B1.COM
is it possible to add the sending domain with DKIM X1.COM, X2.COM and X3.COM in the code above.
<virtual-mta pmta-vmta1> smtp-source-host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX server.B1.com
domain-key dkim,b1.com,/home/admin/conf/mail/B1.com/dkim.pem
domain-key dkim,X1.com,/root/X1.com/dkim.pem
domain-key dkim,x2.com,/root/X2.com/dkim.pem
#domain-key default,*,/var/cpanel/domain_keys/private/example.com
<domain *>
max-msg-rate 400/h
</domain>
</virtual-mta>
Is this something that can work ?
Please I need your help, I need to use multiple domains with DKIM signature and consider please that I have another server with second IP:
<virtual-mta pmta-vmta1> smtp-source-host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX server.C2.com

The author of the guide https://powermta.ninja/guide/ asserts that their email marketing system is superior. The setup involves a primary server hosting Mumara and PowerMTA management console on the CWP control panel. In addition, there are several smaller MTA servers with PowerMTA on the VESTA CP control panel.
According to the author, this configuration is touted as the best due to their 15 years of experience in email marketing. They argue that this system excels because, if one MTA encounters issues or goes offline, it can be swiftly replaced. This supposedly ensures the continued functionality of the remaining email marketing infrastructure, providing a robust and reliable setup.
The guide is quite old so I wanted to ask the forum community if this setup is still legit. He uses powermta management console to connect all his MTA servers to it, is that something we still do with the newer version of powermta ?
Thank you
