Well, that’s not quite true. This is a common error. Digital Ocean is blocking whatever port your mail server is on. Mail services like Mailgun accept SMTP traffic on port 2525, so when I do an install I always use port 2525. If you don’t have that option, you’ll need to contact Digital Ocean and ask them to not block that port.
