Has anyone tried to use SES as a spam removal service for a self-hosted e-mail server where port 25 is blocked? In this case, I'd like SES to handle spam, but then I'd like to route the message to smtp:mydomain.net:2525 instead of the normal port 25.
I've seen arithmetric's SES Forwarder, but it uses the SES e-mail sender for relaying the message, which will hit the same issue with delivery failure when it tries to use standard port 25 to get to my MTA.
If you haven't tried it, any suggestions on a node.js library that could help with taking a message from S3 and deliverying it to an MX that's not listening on 25?

I just added my WordPress website to AWS Lightsail and wanted to set up my mail accounts as well.
Receiving mails from my Google Mail account works, BUT
sending mails to my Google Mail account does not work.
I receive emails that I send from hi#mydomain.com to bye#mydomain.com.
I opened all recommended ports by Plesk and can only receive emails.
Enabling SMTP service on port 587 on all IP addresses in the server-wide settings does not solve my problem.
What should I do now?
AWS closed port 25 by default (Still open for tools that check ports). Nevertheless, the support finally replied and told me that they remove it manually to prevent spam.
You can remove the limit of your Lightsail instance with the following form: https://aws.amazon.com/forms/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request
I am completely new in AWS and I want to know about port 25 to send SMTP mail.
My organisation is using one SMTP relay server which is having only one port 25, no any other port is available.
I have an application (written in flask) which i will deploy on AWS and will use it to send SMTP mail using my organisation's server to outlook.
Now, i want to know whether port 25 is blocked or not and can it be used in this scenario or not.
Thanks in advance.
This is blocked on purpose by Amazon.
If the email provider supports another port you're advised to use this, however it seems for your use case you're limited.
In this case you will need to follow the instructions that are available on the How do I remove the restriction on port 25 from my EC2 instance? page. This will require you to fill in this form specifying your business case for why it needs to be unblocked.
I have installed zimbra on GCP VM. Im able to received mail from outer and inner network but unable to send mail in outer network. I have change smtp port to 2525 and define firewall but still not able to send mail.

For security reasons Google blocks SMTP traffic and that is why you can't send email:
By default, Compute Engine allows outbound connections on all ports
but port 25, which is blocked because of the risk of abuse. All other
ports are open, including ports 587 and 465.
See also the documentation what kind of traffic gets always blocked by default in GCP (and you can't change it).
The only way to semd emails from you GCP instances is to use trusted 3rd party tools such as: SendGrid, Mailgun, or Mailjet.
Have a look at the documentation on how to send emails from GCP VM's, which provider is best suited for you and how to configure specific service.
I tried with php mail function and the email is not sent. I activated the port 25 in the aws instance network setting but no uses.
Checked the mail settings option in the plesk Controlpanel, I got the following message
You cannot send emails from Plesk because outbound connections on TCP port 25 is blocked. Check the firewall settings or contact your hosting provider.
Please give the suggestion, how to resolve it.
You need to request to amazon to open that port, by default it is blocked..After request they open it.
Here is the link to request

I am trying to set up my own Email server on EC2 instance, but facing issue related reverse DNS and SMTP port 25:
Incoming Mail (SMTP/postfix) is running but is not publicly accessible at X.X.X.X:25.
Outbound mail (SMTP port 25) seems to be blocked by your network. You will not be able to send any mail. Many residential networks block port 25 to prevent hijacked machines from being able to send spam. A quick connection test to Google's mail server on port 25 failed.
Your box's reverse DNS is currently ec2-x-x-x-x.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com, but it should be mail.xyz.com. Your ISP or cloud provider will have instructions on setting up reverse DNS for your box.
By googling I found Request to remove email sending limitations link, I requested by this form to AWS, but didn't getting any solution.
Please guide me on this.
