The Email Server is outbound, It’s located in China.
SMTP Host: smtp.ym.163.com SMTP Port: 25 SMTP Security: None
No, You are not being blocked.
You are connecting to the remote server fine.
Do you mean blocked inbound ( to your server? ) or outbound ( sending to someone else from your server… )
Sending would be fine as its not being blocked.
