Mail with attachments gets stuck in queue

    Hi,
    I have setup ISPConfig 3 on Debian Wheezy.
    Everything works perfectly except mail attachments.
    I can send mail without attachments from my domain to my gmail account using my email client through the ISPConfig without any problems. But as soon as I add an attachment, even if its only 50kb or less, the email gets stuck in the queue. I can receive email with attachments without an issue. I have tried increasing the smtp timeout and made a lot of other changes, but nothing helped. So I finally changed too many settings that I couldn't revert, I had to reload the entire server. Now the server is set up again. But the attachment problem is still happening. Please help me sort this problem out.
    Thanks

    Please let me know if you need more. Like I said before, mails without attachments go through without a problem

    If you habe no ipv6-address, you can disable ipv6 in posftix. You also run in timeouts when sending to google. Did this occours for gmail or for other servers, too?

    Any mail to another server with attachments gets stuck.
    I have sent the same mail to another domain on the ISPConfig server and the mail went through
    I have changed postfix to ipv4

    Seems like a firewall-problem. Is port25 open for outgoing? Maybe you have ICMP problems when connecting gmail. Can you telnet to gmail on port 25?

    It seems that I can sometimes telnet to google on port 25 and sometimes not. I forgot to mention that I have it hosted on a VPS server
    If it was an firewall issue, why would it only block mail with attachments?
    I only have IP tables, and its open to everything except a few IP's I blocked
    Code:
    root:/# telnet alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25

    I have also ran a ping and I did't have 1 packet dropped

    You have a problem with your firewall or the outgoing routing. Are you sure that your provider allows outgoing connections on port25?

    After long trial and error from my VPS provider, they found a firewall rule that blocks larger attachments. Everything is running smooth now. Thanks Florian for all your help
