I try to send a few emails, but postfix send only 3 emails every 10-20 min. After that postfix sends 3 emails, I get the error: "Connection timed out".

What do I do wrong?

  • Is there a firewall somewhere which block the connections ?

  • I use the AWS (Amazon Web Services), but in my "Security group" of AWS all required ports are open. screenshot Jan 4, 2016 at 12:39
  • I think you should see in outbound, as your server try to connect to gmail

  • In outbound all traffic is open. Jan 4, 2016 at 14:20
  • Are you perhaps running into the limit that AWS puts upon sending emails? (As noted in stackoverflow.com/questions/26311747/…) You might want to consider using their Simple Email Service.

Are you perhaps running into the limit that AWS puts upon sending emails? (As noted in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26311747/aws-ec2-email-sending-limit-when-using-third-party-smtp-server).

You might want to consider using their Simple Email Service.
