Setting Hostinger (DNS) and CWP7
Setting up your email system between Hostinger (DNS) and CWP7 (Mail Server) requires a "handshake" between the two platforms. Here is the summary of the steps you took to make it work:
1. Identify Your Server Identity (CWP7)
Before changing anything, you must know where your mail is physically stored.
Server IP
89.116.187.162
Email Path
Email > Email Accounts
2. Configure DNS at Hostinger
You had to tell the internet that Hostinger handles your domain name, but your VPS handles your mail.
A Record
mail -> 89.116.187.162
MX Record
@ -> mail.ibv.cloud (Priority 10)
SPF Record
v=spf1 ip4:89.116.187.162 +a +mx ~all
3. Enable Encryption (CWP7)
To avoid security warnings and enable secure ports (993/465):
Tool Used
Free AutoSSL
Target Domain
ibv.cloud / mail.ibv.cloud
4. Thunderbird Account Setup
Connecting your computer to the server using the correct "pipes."
Incoming (IMAP):
Server / Portmail.ibv.cloud / 993

Outgoing (SMTP):
