unable to send mail using postfix


hi there,

I have recently installed the ISPCP web hosting control panel. It seems that after a while running and testing I can receive but I cannot send e-mail. basically I get an error which goes

Code:
postfix/smtp[5939]: connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[72.14.213.27]:25: Connection timed out
I have, in the recent past, been able to send e-mail so I know that there is something that has gone wrong with my configuration, which I cannot, however, seem to figure out.

I post here my master.cf and my main.cf files as well as the mail.log file and the mail.warn.... can anybody help me??? Thank you much!

Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS 64x

"No route to host" "Connection timed out"

Your Internet is acting up. Is it behaving otherwise? Can you telnet to 74.125.39.27 on port 25 (no)? Can you from other machines on your LAN? Stop/reset your firewall?

Yes,

I just noticed that I cannot telnet to that address

Code:
telnet 74.125.39.27 25
Trying 74.125.39.27...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
I can however tenet to port 25 on my address

Code:
telnet 80.244.80.95 25
Trying 80.244.80.95...
Connected to 80.244.80.95.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 goblin.e-gobling.com ESMTP ispCP 1.0.5 OMEGA Managed
Everything else seems fine everything is behaving normally. I can ping the server from other systems in the LAN and from the server I can ping other systems within the LAN and to other systems out on the Internet. The server can also receive pings from remote another system outside on the Internet. As far as I know my ISP does not block port 25 and I have verified this by running a port scanner (advanced port scanner v1.3).

I have no clue what it can be any ideas???

Thank you

Blue
