Is there anyone successfully running a mail server in google cloud? [closed]

Mail servers cannot resolve to my SMTP mail server in google cloud. Can someone please help? Its a mailcow server


Solution 1:

Google Cloud blocks SMTP port 25 egress. This prevents traditional SMTP servers from functioning. You can use other ports such as 465/587 but that is typically used to login to a traditional SMTP server (Gmail, Workplace, O365, Zoho, etc) for email forwarding.

In summary, you cannot host a traditional email server in Google Cloud. You can implement email forwarders.
