Test your server

To check your Email deliverability, YunoHost provide some tests avilables in the Diagnosis tool. This tools evalutes a lot of configuration and ip reputation points. It gives you also an indicator if some mails are blocked inside the mail queue (waiting to be sent). all the points evaluated by the well known mail-tester.com except for mail content (usefull if you prepare a newsletter).

However, if you have a doubt on the internal diagnosis results, you could check on external tools:
