Created Mail Server, Client, and SMTP Server
For this devlog, I built the mail server and client to handle, manage, view, and send emails for the game and foundation. I initially tried running everything locally, but AWS blocked me, they toughtI was using port 25 for malicious activity and refused to unlock it. After that, I attempted to use AWS SES, but it was a nightmare: overly complex, required a ton of verification, and cost more than other options, so I scrapped it.While searching for a better solution, everything else was already working well, though I did spend a lot of time debugging with ChatGPT. Eventually, I found a free SMTP service that provided exactly what I needed. I integrated it with the server, and now everything runs smoothly.
