Resolved - Postfix on Fedora 29 - Why Can't I Send Mail?
-
My reply for the 2nd and 3rd questions.
- The emails are only used for alerts/notifications to our IT department from a handful of monitoring apps/services (fail2ban, dnf-automatic, etc) on the vultr server instances we will be using.
- Very light volume. Again, these are not going to be used as a dedicated mail server; all mail generated from our Vultr instances will be delivered to our Office 365/Exchange online account.
Plus, I asked this question-
Are you able to open 25 for our entire account, or will I have to request this for each instance?
-
No real argument with their follow up questions.
Those are good to get documented. Even if they don't mean shit.

Vultr should have a form for this specific request. I have lost a day waiting for them on the back and forth. They close at 5 ET. First, they give you to tech, then tech reviews it and sends it to account management, who then has to ask you the questions, then you wait based on your reply.

I've never had that happen before.

Well, maybe they changed the procedure to make it more convoluted and less efficient.

I agree. Spammers make everyone lose

Could be. I've done it recently. But not REAL recently.

Finally got the SMTP unblocked. It applied to the instance (multiple servers) that needed to be hard reset in order for it to take effect. Afterward, I was able to send a test message out from postfix and received it. Thanks @dbeato @JaredBusch @scottalanmiller
-
@wrx7m Awesome! Glad it is going well then.

FFS no. That is not what anything is.
It applied to the Account. Which contains multiple instances.
Instances that could be servers or desktops or WTF ever. -
