Hey people,
I am trying to use sendemail to test emails on my droplet on digital ocean and it is not working. I do the same command line on my machine and in other server hosted in linode. Both works.
$ sendemail -f myemail@gmail.com -t otheremail@gmail.com -u subject -m “message” -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -o tls=yes -xu myemail@gmail.com -xp ‘password’ Mar 14 20:18:10 digitalocean sendemail[23681]: ERROR => Timeout while connecting to smtp.gmail.com:587 There was no response after 60 seconds.
Can you help me?
