 * I recently migrated website to hetzner cloud server. 
   The website is controlled
   from a linux server which I have manged to get up and running without any problems
   now. For the life of me cannot get email to work. I have tried all kinds of solutions
   including editing my spf, setting up smtp and others. I have asked hetzner for
   help, but as it’s a vps server they do not provide any customer support.Any experts
   here who could help me out? it’s crucial for my website to have functioning email.

 * Hetzner blocks ports 25 and 465 by default on ALL cloud servers. After a month
   and paying your first bill, you can send a request (with justification) for these
   ports to be unblocked ([Ref](https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq#why-can-i-not-send-any-mails-from-my-server)).
 * Note that 587 is not blocked, so if you’re using an external SMTP service, you
   can use 587 if your SMTP provider supports it.
 * But you also want to make sure your Hetzner Cloud firewall (if configured) isn’t
   blocking the traffic.
 * And if you use a transactional service provider’s API with normal HTTPS traffic
   over 443, you should not have any issues.

 * Found out my previous webhosts email wasn’t compatible with hetzner so i was 
   unable to send email throught their webservers. Fixed it by switching email to
   hetzner.
