It occurred to me when I wrote the above that my postfix was using port 587. I have now changed the transport and sasl_passwd files to point them to port 465. The log now has the following. Jan 9 05:52:53 panahar postfix/smtp[8128]: 683BC11B785: conversation with smtp.gmail.com[66.249.93.109] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting Jan 9 05:53:53 panahar postfix/smtp[8157]: 37F8711B773: conversation with smtp.gmail.com[66.249.93.111] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting Any ideas?
