Hi @littlebluegreenanchor,

It seems you are using port 25.

I’ll recommend you to use ports 465 or 587 instead of using port 25 to send your emails.

You can also use a third-party mail provider like SendGrid in order to avoid issues like this one. I’ll also recommend checking this article:

Hope that this helps!
