Email Delivery Fails

[gfgrisales]

tested a new vps on Digital ocean & smtp working fine out of the box. Using it for beta testing.
Sending to gmail no issues & receiving.

Hey there Me.B
Are you doing this on a new account or is an account that you have used before?
Because for any new account that's the outgoing e-mail rule according to this message they sent to me earlier this month.

Hello!

To curb a recent increase in abuse and SPAM, we have an initial SMTP block on new accounts created in certain contexts.

To remove that block we'd like to do some manual account verification.

Please let us know the following:

- Your Name
- Location
- Phone Number
- The reason you are requesting the removal of the SMTP block

Also, please provide as many of the following as you can to help us verify your identity:

- Your public Twitter handle
- Your blog
- Your company or personal website
- Your public Facebook profile

We take SPAM very seriously as we comply fully with the CAN-SPAM Act. If you're not familiar, this says that you may not send bulk email unless you maintain a double-authorized list of subscribed members including IP addresses and relevant contact information. Also, you must follow guidelines for including removal links with all sent emails according to the CAN-SPAM Act.

If you have any questions we're happy to help answer them for you.

Regards,
DigitalOcean Support
