Hello Railway team,

We need outbound SMTP access from our production backend service.

Issue:

SMTP connections to mail.privateemail.com time out from Railway.

App error: Connection timeout

Provider diagnostics: provider=namecheap, errorType=NETWORK_ERROR

What we tested:

Port 465 with secure=true

Port 587 with secure=false (STARTTLS)

Important context:

Same SMTP config works from local environment.

Failure happens only in Railway production environment.

Request:

Please confirm whether outbound SMTP egress is blocked for this service and, if so, allow outbound TCP to:

mail.privateemail.com:465

mail.privateemail.com:587

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 outbound networking documentation.
