I am using digital ocean server with Ubuntu 16.04 and PHP7. I am having wordpress site. But mail functionality doesn't work. I have tried some tutorials but no success. Can someone suggest how to use it.
I don't know what you've tried but you can install postfix and make a relay to your mail provider and send your mails over your own mailbox. Then you have now worries about spam and all the mechanism you need to prevend your emails from the spam folder.

Otherwise if you install postfix without an relay then you have to permit your network. But then it's possible that your emails are rated as spam.

Server using ubuntu and i set everything up on it for email send and tested this through postfix and it worked correctly.

It is better to use SMTP instead of relying php's sendmail which may get blocked on some hosting companies.
You can use the Post SMTP Mailer plugin to overcome this problem.
Just create a new email account at digitalocean and use its smtp server as the outgoing server address at the SMTP plugin. Usually it will be mail.yourdomain.com. Outgoing port can be 25 or 587.
I setup postfix on my server, that's subdomain. so main domain and subdomain IP is different. I am sending mail as support#maindomain.com from subdomain.maindomain.com.
Is there any way to avoid the emails going to spam.
Note: Email doesn't show emailed by.
What could be possible reasons why my app cannot send emails once it's moved to the production environment?
I'm using my private e-mail address to send these emails and I learned via admin that the server is not blocking this. What would be other issues to look for?
I am a front-end developer so the server stuff goes a bit over my head. Please excuse me if the question is dumb.
I am hosting a wordpress site on our server with contact form 7, but we only have a A-records for www pointing to our site. The email management for said domain is held by a third party.
How is contact form sending the emails to the admins? It is using our hosts SMTP service? I am asking because I am getting the emails on gmail, but the client is not receiving them on his service.
Thank you!
When your server is sending email without you configuring anything, the most likely cause is that it is using the server itself. For that, it does not need to "know" any DNS entries, as it just connects to localhost, which always points to the server itself.
When you receive the mail, and your client is not, this is most likely the result of a spam filter. Have you asked your client to check the spam folder?
The problem of - mainly - shared hosting servers is that they tend to end up on spam lists like that of spamhaus.org etc. which greatly enhances your risk to end up in the spam folder. If you control the server, you could request deblocking or even whitelisting your server, but before you do that, you should be certain that your server is not inadvertedly relaying mail because of a misconfiguation, vulnerability, or outright being hacked. Your applications or the server itself could be configured to use an external smtp server, but that's not something that's easily explained here. Maybe try on serverfault.com?
Ive setup drupal 7 in my work place where we dont have an internet access nor outgoing mail. We can mail ourselves internally only( Registered in the Exchage/Mail Domain).
I am using XAMPP to handle MySQL, Apache and Mercury but I cannot figure out how to send the confirmation mail of drupal, also the password resets to the valid mail of the user using my Internal Mail as the SMTP. Any help?
I can only also access the internet thru a proxy IP and Port that was given to me recently, so I was thinking of using free mail accounts.
Have you setup your smtp server in /xmpp/php/php.ini ?
