Can't send test message

[alexk1919]

I have everything setup according. to the installation guide.

postal.yml:
version: 2

postal:
web_hostname: post.example.com
web_protocol: https
smtp_hostname: post.example.com

main_db:
host: 127.0.0.1
username: root
password: postal
database: postal

message_db:
host: 127.0.0.1
username: root
password: postal
prefix: postal

smtp_server:
default_bind_address: "::"
port: 25
tls_enabled: true

dns:

Specify the DNS records that you have configured. Refer to the documentation at

https://github.com/atech/postal/wiki/Domains-&-DNS-Configuration for further

information about these.

mx_records:
- mx.post.example.com
spf_include: spf.post.example.com
return_path_domain: rp.post.example.com
route_domain: routes.post.example.com
track_domain: track.post.example.com

smtp:

Specify an SMTP server that can be used to send messages from the Postal management

system to users. You can configure this to use a Postal mail server once the

your installation has been set up.

host: 127.0.0.1
port: 2525
username: # Complete when Postal is running and you can
password: # generate the credentials within the interface.
from_name: Postal
from_address: postal@post.example.com

rails:

This is generated automatically by the config initialization. It should be a random

string unique to your installation.

secret_key: 240f49c4b0e4254fbf

Can someone help?

Have you actually filled in the smtp: section? Particularly the username and password?

Thanks. The problem was a far more basic issue... my VPS is blocking port 25.
