>05:27 17:08 SMTPD(0008013C) [209.101.87.15] EHLO tech1
Some mailservers require a fully qualified host name in the EHLO hostname.
The above could be rejected as bogus.

>05:27 17:09 SMTP-(0000005B) Stack connect fail "207.168.201.158"
We need to see the preceding log line for this process 'SMTP-(0000005B)
Trying <hostname>' so we can see the hostname that was resolved into
207.168.201.158. I can't 207.168.201.158 because it has no reverse zone record.

;; res_nsend to server default -- 212.73.210.69: Operation timed out
plus there's no SMTP service on that ip address. Scanning that ip shows
just this:

The MX host for firstplace.net is castlegate.net at ip 207.168.201.158 and
there is an smtp service:

But, but, there's no A record for this hostname:

Warnings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o A dot is possibly missing in the host name
"mortimer.castlegate.net.castlegate.net."
A part of the domain name appears more than once in the host name
of the A record "mortimer.castlegate.net.castlegate.net.". There
may be a missing dot in the host name entry.
o A dot is possibly missing in the host name
"stats.castlegate.net.castlegate.net."
A part of the domain name appears more than once in the host name
of the A record "stats.castlegate.net.castlegate.net.". There may
be a missing dot in the host name entry.
o There is just one NS record in the zone
The zone contains just one NS record. Every zone should contain
two or more NS records, and the NS records in the zone should
match the delegation data for the domain.
o There is only one MX record in the zone
The zone contains only one MX record. This will cause mail
delivery problems if the primary mail server becomes unavailable.
For safety purposes, there should be two or more mail servers for
every zone, the extra mail servers being used as backup
(secondary) servers for the primary server.
For castlegate.net:
Errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The name server "goldenboy.spacey.net." is only listed in
delegation data
The server "goldenboy.spacey.net." is listed as being
authoritative for the zone according to the delegation data, but
there is no NS record for that server in the zone data.
Delegation data and zone data should always match.
o Zone data on the server "goldenboy.spacey.net." is different from
that on the primary server
The zone on the secondary server "goldenboy.spacey.net." has the
same serial number as the zone on the server "ns.castlegate.net."
but the zone data is different.
o Unable to verify the hostmaster address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
because no mail servers answered.
It was not possible to verify the hostmaster address
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" because none of the mail servers that
process mail for the domain answered.
