Are you sure that is the correct host name for google smtp? If you do a bit of dig you get: $ dig -t mx gmail.com ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2.1 <<>> -t mx gmail.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 35028 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 5, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 4 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;gmail.com.

I have no problems connecting to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com on tcp/25. Of course, if destination e-mail is not <something>@gmail.com, then that is a different story... -- http://nk99.org/
