Network failure using Swoosh
I am trying to use swoosh for emailing. I have basically followed the steps in Swoosh.Mailer — Swoosh v1.26.2.
My config looks like:
config :bw, Bw.Mailer,
adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
relay: "smtp.gmail.com",
username: System.get_env("BW_MAIL_USERNAME"), # gmail username
password: System.get_env("BW_MAIL_PASSWORD"), # gmail password
ssl: true,
tls: :always,
auth: :always,
port: 1025,
retries: 2,
no_mx_lookups: false
I have created an email struct, but when I try to deliver it, I get:
> Bw.Mailer.deliver(email)
{:error, {:retries_exceeded, {:network_failure, '108.177.126.109', {:error, :timeout}}}}
I have no idea where the error could be. Is it in my configuration? Any help is appreciated.

You sure the port 1025 is correct? Usually SMTP with STARTTLS is on port 587, ans SSL SMTP is on 465.
Also, Gmail SMTP is supposed to be used by interactive clients, not a backend server. They may have some rule based filtering and limiting that hinder your usage. I 'd stick to one of the following:
- Sendgrid, etc, 100 mails per day in the free tier
- Amazon SES. If you are sending a lot
- Your own SMTP server
