So I discovered that #digitalocean had blocked certain ports for #smtp. As I didn’t keep with up with my email….alright I deleted them…I didn’t know and just noticed my #mastodon server wasn’t sending emails. Hasn’t for several months.

We used our own domain to handle smtp but that can’t be done any more.

After looking at all the recommendations and getting massively confused I ended up going with #postmark.

All the steps and configuration etc will be put up on my #Wiki samadam.au/mastodon. I’m documenting things now in a place I can find instead of crappy word like documents. I did that with our family tree and it works like a treat.

Cleaning things up and learning to do things properly is going well.
