PowerMTA Management

PMTAcore automates the entire PowerMTA installation and configuration process. Select a server, pick your PMTA version, enter your domain and SMTP credentials, and the app handles everything — OS detection, dependency installation, PMTA setup, firewall rules, DKIM key generation, and service startup.

Installation Modes

Single Domain — Standard setup using one IP and one domain. Best for low to medium volume sending or when you are just getting started. Simple and straightforward.

IP Rotation — Uses all available IPs on the server, each with its own domain. PMTAcore automatically configures PowerMTA virtual MTAs and a rotation pool so emails are distributed across all IPs in round-robin. Best for high volume sending where you need to spread the load.
