Website not sending outgoing emails

0

I have a website that customer's can use to order replacement parts. When they create an account they receive an email with their login credentials. On the Admin side, I can also place orders for customer's on their behalf. I am not able to create any accounts because to get to next step the customer is sent an email to confirm. I have no experience with AWS and have limited knowledge on website set up. Can any one assist or provide steps to check what could be wrong?

Thank you,

SMTP port 25 is blocked by default. You have to apply for port 25 to be unblocked for your account. Alternatively you could use a 3rs party such as Sendgrid.

AWS email offering includes SES but again it’s in sandbox mode until you apply to move it to production.

  • Hi Gary, Thank you for your response. what would cause this to be blocked? We were using this website and then suddenly it stopped working.

  • Not knowing your full setup it would be hard to tell if something else in the process is now failing like a lambda function etc.

You are leaving out a lot of details - such as what this website is built on - and where it is running. However, I will make some assumption - since you mention that it cannot send e-mail.

If you are running this website on an EC2 instance (or you are using a Lambda function to send SMTP email directly) within AWS - then you will not be able to send SMTP email to external mail servers on TCP port 25.

You can read about this restriction here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-resource-limits.html#port-25-throttle

To remove this restriction - you can follow the process described here: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-port-25-throttle, or you can use The Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) to relay the e-mail for you.
