Hi, today I’m using godaddy vps, but thinking to change to digital ocean. One problem I have faced is sending emails from digital ocean server.
To send email using godaddy I simply configure my SMTP to: dedrelay.secureserver.net:25
My python script do this:
conn = SMTP('dedrelay.secureserver.net:25')
try:
conn.sendmail(sender, destination, message)
finally:
conn.close()
How can I do this in digital ocean?

Option 2: Use an existing email service and route sendmail through that. For an example with Gmail, see: http://linuxconfig.org/configuring-gmail-as-sendmail-email-relay
