We are running a Node.js backend on Railway and using Hostinger SMTP for transactional emails.
Email sending works correctly in our local development environment using the following SMTP server:
Host: smtp.hostinger.com
Port: 465 (SSL)
However, after deploying to Railway, email sending fails while using the same SMTP credentials and configuration. We would like to confirm whether outbound connections from our Railway service to smtp.hostinger.com on port 465 are allowed.
Could you please verify:
- Whether outbound traffic to smtp.hostinger.com:465 is permitted.
- Whether there are any restrictions on SMTP traffic from Railway services.
- If port 465 is restricted, which SMTP ports are recommended for external email providers such as Hostinger.
Thank you.

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.
