free -m Command Explanation
| Category | total | used | free | shared | buff/cache | available |
| Mem: | 1995 | 776 | 375 | 106 | 844 | 955 |
| -/+ buffers/cache | ||||||
| Swap: | 5119 | 348 | 4771 |
total (Mem)= 1995 : It means you have 2Gb physical RAM. (excluding small bit reserve by kernel in startup)

Mail Server Configuration
Problem: I migrated hosting server 1 month ago. Everything works fine except email send and receive. My webmail is ok. Problem is in WordPress application. I have 200 WordPress users where users can not change their password themselves. I have install project management plugin.

Solutions:
- However, I could see that the email services of xyz.com is still pointing to old shared server
- Please access the link for more information: https://dnschecker.org/#MX/xyz.com
- I would humbly request you to set the MX record of the domain as “mail.xyz.com”
- Login to the Cpanel of xyz.com. Search for the option, “Zone editor”
- There you can update the MX record of the domain
- Set priority as : 0
- Destination: mail.xyz.com
- Propagation time can vary depending on the geographical location. Normally, the domain DNS takes 0-8 hours and is known to take up to 48 hours maximum to completely propagate.
