content: I am disappointed in DigitalOcean I noticed a couple of days ago, I couldn't send any emails by connecting to my smtp server, initially I did everything possible from my side, but then realized it's not my problem, so I contacted mailgun which I use for sending emails, but they informed me that it's not a problem of their side,and thus I have to contact my VPS provider, so I did a couple of days ago, and today morning I saw a reply to my support ticket of DigitalOcean, they informed me that to battle the spam, they blocked SMTP ports of all the new accounts. I don't think this is okay at all, first I pay them $120 in each year, and I have been with them for like few months now (since December of 2016), so it's not like I am completely new, I am also active in their community, and I never sent a single spam from my site, and my blog always makes sure the user authorized twice (double-authorization) to receive subscription emails, so blocking the SMTP port of my VPS account without even informing me is absolutely ridiculous, and unfair for me. It's not like a free service, we pay them $120 and they can do whatever they want without even informing, so now if something is broken because they blocked something, I dunno until I found it, even if I found it I have to first make sure it's caused because of a fault of what I did (while updating) or not, meaning it will be full of frustrations. So if you are new don't even buy from DigitalOcean, because they block certain features of your account without even informing.
