      From Vultr account management - I included most of this in my initial request -

      Hello,

      Thank you for contacting us. We have received your SMTP Unblock request. However before we can remove this block, we must verify additional information.

      Please reply to this ticket with the following information:

      1. The business name and organization URL(s) under which you offer services.
      2. Describe, in as much detail as possible, the nature of the emails you intend to send.
      3. The volume of email that you plan to deliver on a daily/monthly basis.

      We need to know this information to make an informed decision regarding your account settings.

      Please let us know if you have any questions.

      Kind Regards,
      Kanita Z.
      Customer Support

        My reply for the 2nd and 3rd questions.

        1. 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.
        2. 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

                            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.

                              My apologies. I meant to put account.
