Thank you.

Timed out connections are more than often an indication of a firewall blocking these connections. Another common one is the "connection refused" error, this one is sympton that the service in question is not running on the host you´ve attempted to connect.

your DNS server is returning the wrong MX host
try this from the command line, on the mail server:
adam@stylin:~$ nslookup
> set type=MX
> gmail.com
Server: 10.2.1.5
Address: 10.2.1.5#53
Non-authoritative answer:
gmail.com mail exchanger = 50 gsmtp183.google.com.
gmail.com mail exchanger = 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail exchanger = 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail exchanger = 10 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail exchanger = 50 gsmtp147.google.com.
you should get similar results. (not "gmail.com")

Right, but what could make a DNS server return such a result? A rogue entry in a hosts file? DNS server misconfiguration (ok, but what misconfiguration?). Anyway, adobrin is correct. None of those IP listed at the top of the thread answered to connections on port 25. But those listed as MX records for the nslookup query did their job very well

So, recheck your name resolution services
