can you do an telnet to any of the gmail servers ? ( just to see if your provider is not blocking anything )
| Code: | $ host -t MX gmail.com
gmail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 50 gsmtp163.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 50 gsmtp183.google.com.
$ telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
Trying 64.233.183.27...
Connected to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP a23si6824327nfc

| Try to specifically resolve MX entries for domains. Sometimes it's a problem with the DNS server being unable to provide these. Happens with some routers. |

that does seem to be the problem here. There seems to be some sort of resolve problem. | Code: | telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
Trying 1.0.0.0...

Seems to be resolving 1.0.0.0 ideas to fix this? Or why I can ping any site and it works and web browsing works? I am running an Actiontec DSL modem and linksys router behind that.
my resolv.conf
| Code: | localhost mail # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0
nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 192.168.0.1
