Yeah, next time, take the info from your Imail log and do these kinds of 
checks manually:


There's no A record for gw.total-web.net, so how is Internet supposed to 
contact it? :

# dig gw.total-web.net a
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> gw.total-web.net a
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

                                         1H              ; refresh
                                         30M             ; retry
                                         1W              ; expiry
                                         1H )            ; minimum


But there are MX records:

# dig gw.total-web.net mx
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> gw.total-web.net mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 7

;; ANSWER SECTION:
gw.total-web.net.       1H IN MX        20 ns01.half-moon.net.
gw.total-web.net.       1H IN MX        10 mail.gw.total-web.net.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
total-web.net.          1H IN NS        ns01.c-cor.net.
total-web.net.          1H IN NS        ns01a.c-cor.net.
total-web.net.          1H IN NS        ns02.c-cor.net.
total-web.net.          1H IN NS        ns02a.c-cor.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns01.half-moon.net.     1H IN A         207.53.75.2
mail.gw.total-web.net.  1H IN A         209.186.12.22
mail.gw.total-web.net.  1H IN A         209.186.12.20
ns01.c-cor.net.         1H IN A         63.90.62.2
ns01a.c-cor.net.        1H IN A         207.53.75.2
ns02.c-cor.net.         1H IN A         63.90.62.8
ns02a.c-cor.net.        1H IN A         207.53.75.8


Note that "mail.gw.total-web.net. 209.186.12.22" is the same ip address 
your Imail has been trying, so
when I try to telnet to 209.186.12.22:25, no response:

# telnet 209.186.12.22 25
Trying 209.186.12.22...

and trying to telnet to gw.total-web.net:25

# telnet gw.total-web.net 25
gw.total-web.net: No address associated with name  (but we knew this from 
dig above)

and trying to telnet to mail.gw.total-web.net:25, no response:

telnet mail.gw.total-web.net 25
Trying 209.186.12.20...

and trying their MX 2O:

# telnet ns01.half-moon.net 25
Trying 207.53.75.2...
Connected to ns01.half-moon.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

I'd say total-web has both DNS and SMTP server pb's.
