I've been using the Ghost Template for months and went to invite more collaborators, but the emails don't go through anymore. In the logs, I get:
Error sending email: Failed to send email. Reason: Connection timeout. Please check your email settings and resend the invitation.It looks like there was some controversy a few months ago about Railway blocking SMTP without notice and then doubling down by only restoring it for Pro members. Yikes, folks.
Looks like that's probably what's going on here then?
I don't have an alternative to SMTP here...Ghost doesn't support sending admin emails via HTTP API.
I'd be grateful if an employee would restore SMTP for my account under the existing terms.
Ghost Pro is $15/mo. and Railway Pro is $20/mo. so there wouldn't be much point in me self hosting it on Railway. I'm really struggling to find things that I can host here between this issue and not supporting services with multiple ports.
Thanks!

Yes, we don't support SMTP for Hobby. Unfortunately, we cannot lift this restriction at this time.

Ah—thanks, Ray! That's a bummer. I'll get things wound down then.
I won't be able to recommend Railway going forward if this is going to be the quality of the platform.
