I believe I have the same problem, but its not happening with smtp.google.com, but with www.google.com. I have this output for dig:
pa...@warifaifa:~$dig www.google.com ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. ;; Connection to 192.168.0.1#53(192.168.0.1) for www.google.com failed: connection refused. Adding the +ignore flag i get this: pa...@warifaifa:~$ dig www.google.com +ignore ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P1 <<>> www.google.com +ignore ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 65181 ;; flags: qr tc rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 25, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.google.com.
