it seems that your server cannot reach gmail servers.. (hotmail already blocks many of emails)

this may be most probably because your ISP blocks port 25 connections.
you may need static IP
talk to your ISP help desk.

I had this same issue till i did some research and it was actually a fairly easy resolve after 12 hours of banging my head.

Code:

relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net]

not
Code:

relayhost = "smtp.comcast.net"

As a reference, here is the portion of my main.cf file that pertains to the relayhost option:

Code:

####### SMTP sasl for authenticating and relaying through Comcasts servers ###########
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options=

The hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd is responsible for storing the smtp.server.tld, username and password to auth with the relayhost.

To create the hash file, you need to create the file:
Code:

/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Then insert your credentials to access the Exchange server.

The format for storing the credentials is as follows:
Code:

smtp.relayhost.tld username:password

Once that file is created, convert it into a db file by running:
Code:

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Then add the directive into main.cf:
Code:

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Don't forget to restart Postfix after the changes:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart

hope this helps you out
