Hi there, Its been days and I am stuck. Whenever I try to send email, I get “502 Bad Gateway” error. Configuration:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'golf.mywebsitebox.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
I am using Ubunto OS with Nginx and Gunicorn. I have opened ticket twice with this issue but no one is responding. Hope someone here responds.

Hi there @mahawaqar9875,
There are a few things that you need to consider:
-
If you are using a firewall on your Droplet like UFW, make sure to allow the outgoing TCP traffic for port 465
-
If you are using a Cloud Firewall, make sure to allow the outgoing TCP traffic for port 465 as well
-
Once you have opened port 465, test this is actually the case by running the following command from your Droplet:
- telnet portquiz.net 465
- If you have port 465 open already try running telnet from your Droplet to your mail server:
- telnet golf.mywebsitebox.com 465
- Make sure that your Droplet’s IP address is not blocked by the firewall on your mail server
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
