Qmail only backs off to the next MX if it is unable to reach the
first MX. In this case, it reached the first MX, started a conversation
with the SMTP server there, and was told to bugger off.
I don't agree with qmail's handling of this case, but it is arguably
fully legal. I think the standard response here runs "If their mail server
isn't willing to accept email, why is it responding to port 25?"
