Email can be tested using PowerShell to isolate issues from software trying to sent email.
Open a PowerShell command prompt.
Test access to the port
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com -Port 587
Good results look like:
ComputerName : email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.comRemoteAddress : 52.27.67.21RemotePort : 587InterfaceAlias : Ethernet 2SourceAddress : 192.168.35.223TcpTestSucceeded : True
