[GeoNetwork-users] Unable to configure 'Feedback' settings for Geonetwork; sending emails not working

Hi,

I am just trying to configure an email server into Geonetwork ('Feedback' options in settings) so users can get self-registered and receive an email. However, it is not working so far. This is the error:
Sending the email to the following server failed : email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com:465. Could not connect to SMTP host: email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com, port: 465
In the Feedback options, I am using 465 as port, Use SSL marked, and without TLS.
The running container serving Geoserver, has the 465-port exposed:

Geonetwork version is: geonetwork:3.12.8-postgres.
The email server (email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com) works well inside DOCKER as I have tested it using a python script.
So, what am I missing?

Thanks
