Hi, I just installed my instance with Ansible.
Now following this doc to check if email is set up correctly. However I didn’t receive an email to reset the password.
I doubled checked that I have email in my account settings. Used telnet localhost 25 to verify the hostname is my domain.
What am I missing?
Where is it hosted? at home or some VPS?
Some ISPs and VPS hosts block outgoing SMTP
And many mail providers block all incoming mail from dynamic IP address pools.
Thank you so much! That explains it!
It is hosted on google cloud, and I just found the doc saying that outgoing SMTP is blocked https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail#using_standard_email_ports.
I will look into third-party email services.
