Postfix- Can receive but not send e-mail

Posted February 22, 2014

I have installed Postfix on Ubuntu 12.04. I think it’s properly installed since I can receive e-mails.

Also, I can send e-mails for the same domain. It work.

But when I try to send e-mails to outside domains, I always get this messages:

Feb 22 13:14:40 elusive postfix/smtp[15728]: connect to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com[173.194.68.27]:25: Connection timed out

Feb 22 13:18:43 elusive postfix/smtp[15738]: connect to mx.webstorm.com.br[186.233.145.212]:25: Connection timed out

So, what’s happening?
