Outgoing traffic filtering
Yandex Cloud automatically blocks traffic sent from Virtual Private Cloud public IPs to TCP port 25 of any servers on the internet and Yandex Compute Cloud VMs. The only exception is the traffic sent to Yandex Mail email servers, which is allowed and not blocked.
Yandex Cloud can provide a special public IP address with TCP port 25 opened upon request to the support team if you follow the Acceptable Use Policy
For public IPs that are already in use, port 25 cannot be opened.
