Hello,
I have a number of virtual machines through which I can access mail servers outside the internal network, such as Gmail:
Code:
$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
Trying 64.233.184.108...
Connected to smtp.gmail.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP 5b1f17b1804b1-438dcc13151sm31122455e9.1 - gsmtp
But when I try to connect to the internal mail server from the internal network, a TIMEOUT error is displayed.
I can connect to the internal mail server from outside the network:
Code:
$ telnet mail.mywebsite.com 587
Trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX...
Connected to mail.mywebsite.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ESMTP Exim 4.97.1 Fri, 31 Jan 2025 06:21:58 -0500
I just can't connect to it from the internal network.

How do I troubleshoot?

Thank you.
