Dear DigitalOcean Support,<br>Thank you for your prompt response on ticket<br>"Ticket #10505917: Request to Unblock SMTP Port for Outbound Mail (Port <br>465)" and for providing clarification regarding the restriction of SMTP <br>ports 465 and 587.<br>I have two important concerns that I’d like to raise:<br>Security of Alternative Ports: You suggested using port 2525 as an <br>alternative. Could you please confirm whether port 2525 on your <br>infrastructure supports secure transmission protocols such as SSL or <br>TLS? We need to ensure compliance with best practices, as many receiving <br>mail servers block or flag emails that are not sent over secure, <br>encrypted channels.<br>Impact on Business Operations: Our application and business workflows <br>require sending transactional emails through secure, industry-standard <br>ports. The inability to use ports 465 and 587 may compel us to consider <br>migrating our infrastructure to a provider that supports these secure <br>channels natively.<br>We appreciate your help and any additional guidance or workarounds you <br>can provide. Please let us know how we can move forward while ensuring <br>secure email delivery.<br>Best regards,<br>Kevin Amayi.<br>CTO, Tagrit.
