My Mautic version is: 4.4.10  
My PHP version is: 8.0.3  
My Database type and version is: 10.5.16-MariaDB

**Your problem**  
My problem is: I cant send emails from the server with sendgrid API

it worked when was on basic IP, i updated to static IP and set a domain  
now i cant send emails , getting error about CURL  
i checked connectivity from the server SSH to sendgrid API url looks OK  
test connection in the config screen also work fine  
but send email return

These errors are showing in the log:

Not solution related but I’d sanitize the IP and email address from this inquiry for security sake.

Hey ramiavi and welcome to Mautic

I am not sure of your setup but I have a setup for sending from my domain to mailtrap, should be similar. Have you checked that these settings are correct? For example I use cloudflare and I must have these set in order to send emails from my domain

- CNAME record used to verify the domain
- SPF record
- DKIM records (2)
- DMARC record

\*\* to add

These won’t be on your mautic instance.  
I assume you have checked the test connection button on your mautic instance which will test that emails will send etc.
