Hi,

It takes around 30-55 min to receive a email from anywhere including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook

This may be due to postscreen. You can check it by checking /var/log/mail.log. Please add if you installed modoboa with the installer or not.

2. I am able to send email but it arrives in spam folder of Gmail or Yahoo.

Email is now complex. You might need to set up rDNS to ensure good deliverability.

3. How to edit and set custom SMTP

What do you mean exactly?

4. SPF Record - Unknown mechanism

it seems like you corrected it.
