Network unreachable error when sending mail from mutt

I think this is not the best place to ask, you should look for some
network mail list, but, ... this type of message means that the
network layer can't find a route to google's smtp. See if you can ping
that addresses, probally no.. Looking at that timeout message, yes it
seems that you're being trolled by some firewall. I've tested here and
I do really can connect, see:

[geckos at csi24 ~]$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
Trying 74.125.141.109...
Connected to smtp.gmail.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
^C^PConnection closed by foreign host.
[geckos at csi24 ~]$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Trying 74.125.141.108...
Connected to smtp.gmail.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP 21sm4315126uaj.17 - gsmtp
^C^C^C^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
[geckos at csi24 ~]$

Hi all,

I'm getting a "SMTP server problem Network is unreachable"  "Error sending
message, child exited 69 (Service unavailable.). " when trying to send a
mail using mutt.

When I used  telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 or change the port to 465 I get
Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable.

On trying
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect smtp.gmail.com:587 I get -->
connect: Connection timed out
connect:errno=110

How do I solve this? Is there a problem with the firewall?
