    I am trying to configure and SMTP service to be used with Invision forum on a Digital Ocean droplet.

    I have setup the SMTP service with Resend, cut and paste the credentials into the Invision settings but it will not connect.


    I have checked the CFS Firewall and ports 465 and 567 are open.

    I get this message in the forum settings.

    Code:
     test email could not be sent. Check the settings entered are correct or contact your hosting or SMTP provider for more information.
    
    Connection refused
    What am I doing wrong?
