It appears your ISP blocks outgoing connections on port 25 to IPs other than its own MX. Can you telnet to those gmail MXs? You should see something like: % telnet 209.85.133.27 25 Trying 209.85.133.27... Connected to an-in-f27.google.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx.google.com ESMTP d38si5830405and.43 Also see: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relayhost -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net>
