I keep getting the following exception when I try to test/verify email settings:

Am I doing something stupid? The email addresses are all valid and I’ve tried numerous addresses with no luck
I am also not able to configure the email task. Following is the error:-

The “operation timed out” error suggests Octopus can’t connect to the SMTP server. Are there any firewalls preventing you from connecting to that SMTP port? What happens if you create your own SMTP client app and attempt to send an email from the Octopus server?
I am getting the same error on an AWS instance as well, oddly, the same configuration with Team City works fine. Did you resolve this?
