I'm using zimbra on ubuntu as an email server behind a zentyal firewall. Im having problem Zimbra stopped receiving email from outside. Internal emails or outgoing is fine. ISP blocks all outgoing 25, but we are using their SMTP server. I have confirmed with ISP that they are not blocking incoming 25.

I have tested using smtp online test querying my server (hq.kiranamitra.co.id), errors with connection time out. If I change the port to 26, it can query my server no problem.

I run a tcpdump with below result:

It seems that outside MTA can connect to us (so ISP is not blocking?), but they are not receiving my server SIN ACK. And why all those checksum error for all outgoing? What is the problem with my server or my ISP?

Appreciate the help! THank you.

  • I can't tell who blocking what, but I can confirm that I can't establish a connection to port 25 on hq.kiranamitra.co.id (36.85.86.216) – HBruijn Sep 01 '16 at 05:47
  • Maybe your ISP is blocking outgoing packets with source port 25. – Law29 Sep 01 '16 at 06:45
