Postfix problems; refusing connection

Hello,
If I try to check if port is open I get this message: "*:25 port is closed"

Also If I try to send email I get this:

Nov 9 20:49:12 team postfix/smtp[11669]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.67.27]:25: Connection refused
Nov 9 20:49:12 team postfix/smtp[11669]: connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.25.27]:25: Connection refused
Nov 9 20:49:12 team postfix/smtp[11669]: connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.168.27]:25: Connection refused
Nov 9 20:49:12 team postfix/smtp[11669]: connect to alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.193.27]:25: Connection refused
Nov 9 20:49:12 team postfix/smtp[11669]: connect to alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.185.27]:25: Connection refused

  1. IPTables are disabled
  2. Firewall disabled
  3. ISP is not blocking port 25 (opened random server on port 25 and it works fine)
  4. No resolve problems, neither on blacklist
  5. Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)

Thanks

  • Check your hostname, it should be fully qualified.

  • Telnet?

    telnet ipaddress 25

    Are you failing outgoing or incoming?

    Looks like you're blocked at gmail to me.

  • This looks like a TCP issue. Try what Silvenga suggested and if this doesnt work either, the connection is definitely not going through. Then you'd need to "debug" it to find out where exactly it is blocked. This could be from your end up to Google's.

  • Why don't you try sending email to a non gmail - self hosted email address. And also do telnet from both localhost and remote.
