Hi!
I had deployed multiple environments with nodemailer using mailtrap as the smtp server.
For weeks, everything was working. I haven't changed a thing regarding that process, then today I get 'Connection error: Error: Connection timeout' on my development environment when I push in a few completely unrelated changes. A few of the environments (production and test) haven't encountered this error yet, so I duplicated them to see if the error would appear and it did!
Currently, I can't send emails vital to website flow in development and I'm scared to push anything to the unhindered environments (production and test) until I figure out what the hell is going on.
The crazy part is, it works locally! Now I've googled the hell out of this. Is this a Railway issue? Or should I contact MailTrap to see what's up? Why isn't this working? Why did it randomly stop working?? 🙃
Thanks!

Alright people! For anyone else who spent hours on this. The Hobby Plan just recently stopped supporting SMTP outbound traffic.

I’m facing the same issue, my setup with Nodemailer was working fine before, but recently I started getting the same connection timeout error on Railway. Has anyone found a workaround or solution for this?

ok found the reason https://station.railway.com/questions/request-to-allow-outbound-smtp-to-smtp-r-e737771f#m2ph
Outbound SMTP is only available on the Pro plan and above, while Free, Trial, and Hobby plans have SMTP disabled.
For sending emails from your application, please use a dedicated email service that provides HTTPS APIs. More information can be found in our documentation:
