Setting up your
private email engine.

MailRivo is designed to run on your own hardware. This guide will walk you through getting your server ready and launching the platform in under 2 minutes.

01

One-Command Launch

Once you have your server and domain ready, login to your VPS via SSH and run the following command. This will download the MailRivo engine and configure your environment.

03

Domain Configuration

To point your domain to your new MailRivo instance, add an A Record in your DNS provider settings.

TypeHost / NameValue (IP)Result
A@YOUR_SERVER_IPyourdomain.com

Using a Subdomain?

If you prefer to host the dashboard on a subdomain (for example, mail.yourdomain.com), set the Host to your prefix (e.g., mail) instead of using the @ symbol.

04

Connecting SMTP / SES

MailRivo connects to high-performance infrastructure like AWS SES or SMTP2GO. This ensures highest deliverability at the lowest cost.

AWS SES (Recommended)
Best for high volume. Costs just $1 per 10k emails.
SMTP2GO
Easy setup and great reliability for smaller lists.
Generic SMTP
Connect any other provider with standard credentials.
