cant use Zoho SMTP to send e-mails by web application

Same issue here. Can’t ping or send emails via Zoho SMTP. This is a big issue and has been troubling us since weeks. Most probably digitalocean has blocked outgoing mails via Zoho…

I have enabled the port 465 by running:

ufw allow out 465

But still telnet smtp.zoho.com 465 gives timeout and I cannot send the email. I can send the email from the local machine. Is this solved?? Any tips?

My ufw status verbose is as following: WARN: / is group writable! Status: active Logging: on (low) Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), deny (routed) New profiles: skip

We need some more information, also Zoho requires the use of SSL when connecting. What kind of application or environment? You might not be using SSL in your connection.
