I can't send any email with Postfix

Posted on February 7, 2015

Hi there,

Postfix couldn’t be accessed from the outside (not localhost). Here is my netstat: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17841/master
tcp6 0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN 15585/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 15547/couriertcpd

Ports 110, 22, 21, 80, 53 works are open. But not 25. What’s a problem?

I think port 25 is close on most DO droplets, or so I read on past questions, so you need to contact support.

Better yet, try zohomail or google apps (zoho is free for up to 10 users).
