Outgoing Port 25 Connectivity Test

A Terraform script is provided to create a new VM that will verify that outgoing port 25 is not blocked in the subscription for implementing the Client-Hosted Email Signature Server solution.

Installation from Azure Cloud Shell

• Navigate to https://portal.azure.com/.

• Start Cloud Shell.

  • If this is the first time you are using Cloud Shell, you will be prompted to create a storage account for the Cloud Shell files.

  • When prompted, choose bash.

• Verify the subscription where the Templafy Email Signature Server cluster will be deployed to is set to the default:

  • az account show

  • az account set --subscription <subscription name or ID>

• In Cloud Shell, change into the clouddrive folder: cd clouddrive

• Create a new directory for the terraform files: mkdir port25check; cd port25check

• Download and extract the port25check terraform scripts:

  curl -O https://download.templafy.com/delivery/ESS/port25check.zip

  unzip port25check.zip
• Run ./tf-run.bat in your open Cloud Shell to run the Terraform scripts that will create the port 25 check VM.

• The output will return the URL to check the results of the port 25 connectivity test.

Delete the test resources

From the port25check directory in Azure Cloud Shell, run: terraform destroy -auto-approve
