For some reason, it would appear that your mail server is delaying the message, instead of trying the next highest MX record. Having two MX records, with the first being unavailable, is common practice (at least in the *nix world), where the higher-level MX is an SMTP gateway.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to fix this, I'm still on Ex5.5.

The NDR is received days after being sent. I've verified that I can send to the other company from an account outside of our domain (hotmail for example) The message header received from the other company when sending mail to us looks as follows: [SNIP] Received: from exbdc01.kpafilms.com mail.kpafilms.com[12.155.200.200](misconfigured sender)) [SNIP] www.dnsreport.com shows that the domain has 2 MX records and the primary is unreachable. [SNIP] 10 mail.kpafilms.com. 5 mi.kpafilms.com. ERROR: I could not connect to one or more of your mailservers: mi.kpafilms.com: Timed out [Last data sent: QUIT ] [SNIP] Question: Is there anything I can do on my end to allow this mail to go through? I suspect that something has changed on the other company's end because until the 25th of June, we had no problems sending to them.
