Need vps with port 25 open for email forwarding. 3 providers tried. All block. Legitimate use only. Any leads?
Looking for vPS that allows email port 25

Most machines block port 25 by default. This is standard practice due to spam abuse. You will need to find a provider that offers explicit exemption with proper reverse DNS configuration. Without matching rDNS, your mail will not be accepted by remote machines regardless. I have seen one reseller permit this under strict terms. -- Marcus
Ngl didnt know ppl still ran their own mail stacks lol. Thought everyone just used api providers now. Whats the forwarding volume like? Might be cheaper to just pay per call than rent vram for a mail server
