Problems with sending receiving with gmail

[ramone.robinson.1020]

Hello All,

I am still in the learning phase and all inputs are welcome

I have my own server running cpanel and whmcs.

All ports expect 25 are open (blocked by ISP). any work around?

I am unable to send or receive emails.

Hello @ramone.robinson.1020,

Port 25 is required for your email server to function properly. If your provide is unwilling to enable port 25, you'll need to use a third-party solution like the ones referenced on the resources linked below:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
