What happens if you try sending a test email to an address you get from [https://www.mail-tester.com/](https://www.mail-tester.com/)?

I can’t see how changing `ufw allow https` could affect incoming mail.

It could be that vultr isn’t allowing outgoing connections to port 25. That would explain outgoing mail not working.

Outgoing and incoming email are largely separate from each other.
