Not sure how this change makes sense.

Previously you had to contact support to have it enabled, it worked well.

I just checked and my DO droplet can still receive emails on ports 25 and 465, and I can also talk from the droplet on both, and also 587.

So not sure what does this announcement means.

I can no longer make outgoing connections on 465 and 586, which is annoying as that's how I used a relay SMTP server. Which is funny because they suggest to use an SMTP relay, and I already did.
