I am trying to send main with Postfix and Dovecot but I am always getting:

May 10 15:13:41 3b15 postfix/smtp[21418]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.162.27]:25: Connection timed out
May 10 15:13:41 3b15 postfix/smtp[21420]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2a00:1450:4010:c05::1a]:25: Connection timed out
May 10 15:13:41 3b15 postfix/smtp[21421]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.162.27]:25: Connection timed out
May 10 15:13:53 3b15 postfix/smtp[21508]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2a00:1450:4010:c05::1a]:25: Connection timed out

I am on Ubuntu 18.04 with Postfix mail_version = 3.3.0 and Dovecot 2.3.14 (cee3cbc0d), I changed the port for Postfix to 2525 and when I run telnet localhost 2525 I am getting:

Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

But when I run the same command with my domain instead of localhost I am getting:

Trying 2606:4700:3033::ac43:c709...
Trying 2606:4700:3032::6815:2c6e...
Trying 104.21.44.110...

And nothing happens. Any idea might the issue be?

When I run status checks on postfix and dovecot I am getting success messages:

First thing that probably you have blocked port 25 for outgoing connection, this is a standard for most home internet, to avoid spam.

Second, you website is hidden using CloudFlare proxy, so you connection is pointing to their servers not you one. To force connect locally add a proper entry into 'hosts' file point to your local ip to this will then work locally for that box.

Thanks,
