E-Mail / Re: All outgoing mail stays in mail queue (connection time out)

Reply by Digital Ocean

Thank you for contacting DigitalOcean Support. My name is *****, and I’ll be assisting you with your request.

We understand you have concerns regarding SMTP restrictions in place on your account. DigitalOcean is not a dedicated email host and stopping spam is a constant fight. Due to this, restrictions have been imposed on all accounts.

We would also like to provide some additional background on this issue. Since IP addresses in cloud environments get used and released back to available pools very frequently, they are considered dynamic and untrustworthy. For example, you’re currently assigned an IP address and you're a responsible mail user. You follow all best practices for mail and never send spam or unsolicited mail. Later, when you no longer need that Droplet, you destroy it and the IP address is free to be assigned to another DigitalOcean user. That user takes the opportunity to send out a large volume of spam before our Security team takes action on the offending account.

Mail providers like Gmail, Microsoft, and others cannot determine if email coming from an IP is legitimate or not until it gains a poor reputation. By that time, the damage had already been done. It's safer to just block all mail coming from platforms, like Internet Service Providers and Cloud hosting environments, where IP addresses are dynamically assigned and inherently risky.

While this does reduce avenues that spammers have available to them, it also impacts legitimate users. Our Abuse Operations team is working with SBLs to get the IPs delisted. Due to this, we are restricting SMTP traffic across the DigitalOcean platform. This means that we are unable to remove the SMTP restriction that is placed on your account.

We understand that your workflow may have email needs. As a solution to this restriction, we have partnered with SendGrid to offer all our customers a better solution where you would not need to worry about IP reputation and blacklisting. Through SendGrid, you will be able to send 100 free emails per day and if your requirement is beyond the free tier, feel free to reach out to SendGrid support to opt for a better plan to meet your requirement.

Funny, CWP expects that you know how to set up a server

This is the first time that I set up a CWP server and it is the first server set up in about 5 years. the previous servers where all ubuntu with other CPs.

Ok, I did some reading and Digital Ocean blocks port 25 by default, but when I nmap the ports its says they are open.
To be sure I contacted DO to be sure.

In meanwhile I use Sendgrid as my outgoing mail service.

As soon as I receive a reply from DO I will post it here

The server is a Digital Ocean droplet and not behind a NAT

The rebuilds I did where the ones in CWP7pro (Email -> Mailserver Manager -> Rebuild Mail Server).

127 x => I don't know... I was expecting that CWP7pro knows how to set up a server

E-Mail / All outgoing mail stays in mail queue (connection time out)

« on: August 27, 2024, 12:42:48 PM »

For days I'm trying to fix my outgoing mail problem. I believe I have seen and tried every possible solution on the internet by now.
This is my last resort 

The issue : All outgoing mails stay in the mail queue (referred) with a connection time out.

I tried disabling the Firewall, ClamAV, AMaVIS, Spamassassin.

I opened ports 25, 465, 10024, 10026

I did some Postfix rebuilds, etc...

This is an example of an email in the /var/log/maillog :

When I send an email to another account on the same server, the message is getting delivered without an issue.
