Blocked outbound port on GCP

    I am hosting my site on google cloud platform and the server is working fine (used the Bitnami deployment manager option).
    I’m now trying to set up the WP-Mail-SMTP email plugin, however, Google blocks the outgoing ports for email and I can’t setup the connection. My email is being hosted on office 365 and all config options are correct but I don’t know how to setup the page to get around the blocked ports.
    Thanks

    Well, you need to unblock ports 587 or 465, depending on your settings. That’s the only option, unfortunately.

    Thanks Slava,

    I couldn’t get the plugin to directly call Office 365 but have found a workaround using a new Gmail account to forward the email through to my Office accounts. working now but a native solution for Office 365 would be significantly better
