I’m trying to configure Postfix on my droplet to use SendGrid for my outgoing emails, but it keeps giving me a timeout error to connect with SendGrid server.
The error message is: localhost postfix/smtp[8705]: 0A2F71E2979: relay=none, delay=1478, delays=1418/0.02/60/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to smtp.sendgrid.net[208.43.76.146]:587: Connection timed out)
Can anyone please help me?

Hi Gabriel, <br> <br>In order to get to the bottom of this, we could use some more information. Could you post you Postfix config: /etc/postfix/main.cf <br> <br>Also any additional error messages in the log file (/var/log/mail.log) could be helpful.
