TIL: Google Cloud Platform blocks outbound email outside of a project's firewall rules. There is no way for a user to unblock it. Makes it difficult to set up email for a small #mastodon server.
@lazzarello that's a pain. Probably email from GCP instances has a hard time getting through spam filters anyway... Can you forward email to a service like AWS's SES?
@lazzarello you don't simply SEND an email. Even with all the right creds and certs and keys they don't get delivered unless you've properly sacrificed to Big Inbox :)
@lazzarello any logs? This sounds interesting to investigate.
