Its the US State Department email servers, its whats the guys from the

If you do indeed have a Cisco appliances in front of your mx you'll need
to find a way to tame that - perhaps simply open a 'hole' on port 25
inbound.
JFWIW, I did not see a problem reaching either of your mx'en from a
FreeBSD box in a HKG data center.
But the US Gov is another matter.... they *might* even have to manually
whitelist your <domain>.<tld> or at least <tld>.
*trimmed*
the strange thing is that my mx records and set primary mail 5 and
secondary 15 but if i check the logs on the mail on the secondary i
still see mails servers sending mails to it which are further forwarded
to my main mail server.
Given a few lost packets, you can count on the odd try at a secondary
now and then.
the two reverse names pointing to the same mx has been there since i
taking the task of maintaining the our mails server it has never been an
issue, but right now i have remove the one that those not point to an
A(forward) record, just to exclude any possible dns issue.
Well worth using an online DNS RR test site periodically.
