At Leafcloud we do our best to make sure your cloud environment is safe and secure. For this reason, we block all outgoing SMTP (E-mail) originating from customers by default. This helps us fight people sending SPAM from our network, and prevents your e-mails from being blocked by blacklists.
What does this mean for you?
For most customers, this has no effect. But if you have a service configured to automatically send e-mail, for example, to reset a password from your site, or send notifications you may see that these e-mails are not delivered.
What if you need to send e-mail from your server?
If you have a need to send an e-mail from your server you typically don't need to send e-mail directly to the recipient. Services such as SendGrid and Mailjet offer relay services with authentication on open port numbers that offer a solution for this problem. They have free tiers that typically suffice for such use-cases.
If you prefer direct e-mail delivery we can also make an exception for you in our firewall. Please get in touch through support, and we'll be happy to set that up for you.
