Re: unable to send mail from desktop mail client to remote email addresses

[Implausibility]

Vultr blocks SMTP unless you specifically request the block to be lifted. -JD.

Is there perhaps something else akin to the forwarding knob that lets PF forward packets between interfaces that either I've forgotten or was skipped in the HOWTO? Thanks, Kevin What connection do you have? Ironically / fittingly, Vultr, same as in Gilles' guide. Have been there for ~6 years now running OpenBSD for all my servers there. If it's a home connection, then most ISP-s block sending mail directly to port 25 (on the destination server). You want a static IP for a mail server, with rDNS etc. set up. RDNS is setup and matches the hostname.
