  Hello, Please try a traceroute to those servers google servers/ips from the server. Are you able to reach them successfully ? "Network is unreachable" seems to be an issue here.

  Hello :) Is this only happening when attempting to send out email to Google? If so, it means Google has blocked connections from your server's IP address. If it's happening for other servers then you should contact your data center to see if they have blocked outgoing connections over port 25. Thank you.
