Hi, I'm trying to have RoundCube and php scripts send email to external domains on my CentOS CWP server. Inbound port 25 works fine (I can send email from yahoo to my mail server and retrieve it), but any outbound port 25 traffic form my server is blocked somewhere:
>telnet portquiz.net 25
Trying 52.47.209.216...
^C
It hangs. I've tried using the ip address for portquiz.net and get the same response. My email logs show similar problems:
Jun 13 03:10:17 www postfix/smtp[25090]: connect to mta7.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.228.106]:25: Connection timed out
Postfix responds ok when I connect from the machine itself:
>telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 myXYZserver.com ESMTP Postfix
I've eliminated the three main suspects:
1. Internal iptables Firewall
I've disabled the iptables csf and lfd firewall from the CWP GUI, confirmed from ">iptables -L" and am still unable to telnet to port 25 on at an external server.
2. ISP's Server-Level Firewall
My ISP is Vultr.com and they provide configurable server-level firewall where inbound port 25 data can be rejected. I've configured the server-level firewall to allow port 25 in both directions, and have also tested disabling it entirely. Still no luck.
3. ISP-Level Firewall
My ISP also has a policy of blocking outbound port 25 so I emailed them to assure them I wasn't a spammer. They agreed and said they had unblocked port 25. I let them know about my outbound SMPT problems and asked again if they were sure they had unblocked it. They re-confirmed that port 25 was not blocked.
Is there any other culprit (some other firewall or config) that might be preventing outbound SMPT traffic, originating from my server, from getting out?
With the firewall off, outbound SMPT port 25 is still blocked; here's the output of iptables:
>iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I turn the firewall back on, here is the output for the iptables:
