Mar 11 18:59:39 server postfix/smtp[4722]: A6BEB10059: to=<user@server.example.com>, relay=none, delay=0.41, delays=0.13/0.07/0.21/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to server.example.com[ip]:25: Connection refused)

I replace the real name of server with server.example.com.

Your nmap and telnet are to the localhost, something is blocking you from connecting to the servers actual ip address check your firewalls and also check to see that the server is listening to port 25 on that address
