Is my STMP web server disabled?
I just noticed that our website cannot send outgoing emails anymore. This is so important for us, sending emails to notify our students about their school works. Thanks

Are you saying that you were able to send email from the website before? If so, did you make any recent changes or where there any updates… like WordPress which just went to ver. 6.0?
If you are a new Linode customer you have to put in a support ticket to get them to open the mail ports.
Give us more info and perhaps we can help.
So…
- "STMP" (you probably mean SMTP) traffic is very different than a web traffic; and
- SMTP and web (HTTP/HTTPS) traffic are handled by two servers of very different stripe and pedigree.
You can generate SMTP traffic from a web application but that traffic is distinct from the response you get from your web app (WordPress). It's handled in a very different way.
All of that being said…I'll re-iterate @acanton77's questions above. You haven't given enough information.
