Configure Exim4 to send outgoing email
Greetings
I am trying to get Exim4 to deliver email to external domains and am testing my gmail address. Does Linode allow this?
The error comes up straight away (immediate failure)

Any ideas would be great

If your account was created after 5th November 2019, then yes your Linodes will be restricted from sending mail out.
Don’t despair, however, it is relatively simple to get this block lifted.
