It occurred to me when I wrote the above that my postfix was using
port 587. I have now changed the transport and sasl_passwd files to
point them to port 465. The log now has the following.
Jan 9 05:52:53 panahar postfix/smtp[8128]: 683BC11B785: conversation
with smtp.gmail.com[66.249.93.109] timed out while receiving the
initial server greeting

initial server greeting
Any ideas?
