Having control over a website and domain is great, but what good is it if I can’t send emails? My current setup allows me to receive messages without any problem. However, I can’t send a single email because port 25, the standard email sending port, is blocked on my EC2 instance.
I tried using Amazon SES for sending emails, but that didn’t work either. The sandbox environment only allows sending emails to verified addresses, and I was unable to get out of the sandbox because my request was rejected without a clear reason. As a result, I’m stuck unable to send regular emails from my domain, which defeats the purpose of owning the server.
Let me clarify: I’m not spamming or doing anything that violates rules. These are personal emails—messages to manage my domain and communicate honestly with contacts. The restrictions on port 25 and the SES sandbox are making it impossible to use my server and domain as intended. I’ve had to come up with complicated workarounds that don’t even fix the core issue, which is both frustrating and unnecessary.
Owning a domain and hosting emails should mean I can send emails securely, following common practices. But with port 25 blocked and the SES sandbox restrictions, that’s just not happening. I’m more than willing to go through any verification steps or monitoring needed to prove I’m not dangerous. Just give me a straightforward way to send emails directly from my server.
Right now, it feels pointless to own a domain and server if I can’t send or receive emails properly. I urge you to escalate this issue and help me find a way to unlock port 25 on my instance so I can use my domain just like I planned.
