Cannot forward email to google

[hugedragon]

problem fixed, this is apf firewall problem.


ServerOS: centos 4.5
exim version: 4.68


I can send email to google directly via webmail, however the forwarder does not work..

this is the mainlog:
2007-11-28 16:00:57 1IxHq0-00029i-3G Remote host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [209.85.199.114] closed connection in response to end of data
2007-11-28 16:03:01 1Iwwez-0006u7-0U SMTP timeout while connected to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [64.233.179.27] after sending data block (8189 bytes written): Connection timed out


I run nslookup alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com, the output is:


Server: 202.181.244.2
Address: 202.181.244.2#53

Any advice?

Can you help us understand how the APF firewall could affect the forward, but not the webmail?

I'm curious .

Actually i dont know why.. i disable it(apf-0.9.6-2) , the email forwarder is working again

I checked the apf log but no more info.
