Dear Railway Support Team,

I am reaching out to request assistance with outbound SMTP connectivity on my Railway deployment.

We have confirmed the following behavior:

• Connections to SMTP ports 465 and 587 are consistently timing out
• DNS resolution is functioning correctly (e.g., resolving to 142.250.27.108)
• This indicates that outbound SMTP traffic is being blocked at the firewall level

Based on this, it appears that Railway is restricting outbound connections on standard email ports (25, 465, 587), which aligns with your default policy for preventing abuse on lower-tier accounts.

Could you please assist with one of the following:

1. Confirm whether my current plan allows outbound SMTP access
2. If eligible, unblock ports 465 and 587 for my project/service
3. Advise if upgrading to a paid plan (Developer tier or higher) is required to enable this functionality

This access is necessary for integrating with external SMTP providers (e.g., Google SMTP), which require these standard ports.

Please let me know if you need any additional details (project ID, service name, etc.) to proceed.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Andrew
