I've got a FreeBSD running as a Lightsail instance at AWS. I asked AWS
to create a reverse dns for my host and also lift all restrictions on
port 25. They did so: the reverse dns has been created and I can get
mails from the outside, but I can't seem to go out on TCP port 25. That
still seems blocked at least as far as the hosts I've tried to reach.
This might not have anything to do with AWS. AWS said that "[e]mail
sending limitations have also been removed for any resources for the
region your EIP is located in." I believe them.
The host 69.164.210.174 can reach my host at mx.antartida.xyz just
fine. The host mx.antartida.xyz is also named a.antartida.xyz.
