Here is the Right XenForo Mandrill SMTP Settings For a Typical Nginx-XenForo Setup. Mandrill is Used a Cloud Transactional Email in Guide. We have shown in a previous guide that, using Mandrill we can receive emails on WordPress without any server side configuration. Also, we have an article on Cloud Transactional Email Service provider comparison.

 

XenForo Mandrill SMTP Settings : Have You Understood it Rightly?

 

We use formerly named Gmail for Domains as the main Email service provider. Mandrill is used for transactional email service for some of the few of our domain named emails. Both these Gmail & Mandrill settings are configured from a cloud DNS provider, which is HP Cloud DNS in our case at this moment. Without this configuration, it is not possible to both, receive and send emails with the same email address.

We do not have postfix like software package installed and/or configured on the server for handing mails – that work is done by Mandrill. WordPress and XenForo are installed on separate directories.
