Set up postfix on a droplet but trying to connect remotely to port 25 there is no response, although the connection is not rejected or closed. There is no response via nc or telnet on that port. ufw is set up to allow it with a rule ACCEPT tcp – anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp
And on the droplet, ‘nc localhost smtp’ works as expected.
Is DO filtering or blocking port 25 upstream?

Could it be your isp filtering port 25? Some set it so port 25 can only route to isp mail servers. <br>
I am so, Please help me. I use smtp.zoho.com, port 465. Now I cannot send emal from joomla 3.6.5. I send a ticket to Support Team but 3 days they donot answer for me.
