I am trying to set up my wordpress to send emails through SMTP with a server from another provider and on Saturday I discovered that Digital Ocean blocks ports 25 and 587.
When I sent a ticket asking to enable emails through SMTP they responded by asking me some questions regarding the purpose of sending emails through SMTP. I answered their questions and after more than 36 hours of having done, they still did not answer me. In my years of using web hosting services, something similar never happened to me. It is extremely slow.

They replied to me the other day within 20 minutes. Not sure what’s happening here.
Hey @borderio,
In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.
Do you have a ticket number from when you contacted our support team so that I can get this followed up for you?
Hope that this helps!
