I used the ansible method to install Lemmy on a DigitalOcean VPS. They do block port 25 and there is no way around that. I tried to change the port from 25 to 465 in the config.hjson file but still no luck. I am super new to this but I want to get this working so bad. I’m so close! The site is working fine, just no emails. I’ve checked spam, trash, etc. - nothing is getting sent.
Any chance you wouldn’t mind walking me through how to set up Lemmy to do that? Any guide or reference would be appreciated.
There is a script called lemmy easy deploy.

You would setup the free plan for sendgrid.com
Their server setting are an ID, password, servernane and port you would put in the config file.
