Postfix Relay - Connection Time out on forwarded mail

VinnyT

Regular Pleskian
My hosting provider recently (and without any warning) decided to block outgoing connections to port 25. What this means is for any client/domain/email address that has a forwarder setup, the mail will never reach its destination because the connection to the other server always times out. The error logs look like this:

postfix/smtp[8414]: connect to ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM[74.125.131.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8421]: connect to aspmx2.googlemail.com[74.125.131.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8425]: connect to aspmx3.googlemail.com[64.233.186.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8423]: connect to aspmx4.googlemail.com[64.233.166.26]:25: Connection timed out

Is there some other way around this? I haven't been able to find a way to force relay to 465. Or maybe I shouldn't have relay on at all and do this another way?

This is kind of an urgent situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
