MX records, Thunderbird, Postfix, Dovecot

I was testing from LAN … I just tested online and the connection is denied. So, I should contact my ISP or is it my registrar I should contact?

Why are they blocking this service? :thinking:

Anyway, is port 25 required or can we just set the mail server up so that it runs on port 587 and SMTPS by default?

It sounds tricky though, because I know for instance that HTTPS (443) won’t work if you disable HTTP (80) … so … my hopes aren’t too high right now.

Anyway, here is the output of postconf -n … and I think I have redacted all sensitive information, please tell me if I have not.

this is what I see at FirewallD

maybe it is not that ISP’s block port 25, but something else? And what do you mean by turn up? :turnip emoji not available:

I will have a look at the rest of your message during the weekend, I am too tired. But thanks for the help guys. I am learning a lot and some people might find this useful in the future :peace_symbol:
