Yes, the error message was from /var/log/mail.info.

The configuration is in postfix. The receive and send email to / from
gmail server work fine before I change to current ISP, could that be
my new ISP problem?

I could not make that work:

~$ telnet 64.233.183.27 25
Trying 64.233.183.27...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable

~$ telnet 64.233.183.27
Trying 64.233.183.27...

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

The port 25 return error immediately, is it port 25 problem?

Seems it is a network connection problem, isn't it?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jim
