What is your setup like? Is the smtp time out happening between client |
| 13 |
and postfix, or between postfix and a relay host? |

If the problem is that your mail client cannot send mail through |
| 16 |
postfix, check /etc/postfix/main.cf, a few variables of interest might |
| 17 |
be inet_interfaces, my_destination, mynetworks_style, etc. |

If the problem is between postfix and a relay host, perhaps your relay |
| 20 |
transport is configured wrong? |

What are the outputs in /var/log/mail/current after you try to send a |
| 23 |
mail? (That question only applies if you know the problem happens |
| 24 |
AFTER the mail gets passed from the client to postfix). |
