smells like a DNS issue:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq mx contemporarymortgage.com a.gtld-servers.com
15 contemporarymortgage.com:
121 bytes, 1+0+2+2 records, response, noerror
query: 15 contemporarymortgage.com
authority: contemporarymortgage.com 172800 NS ns1.eoriginate.com
authority: contemporarymortgage.com 172800 NS ns2.eoriginate.com
additional: ns1.eoriginate.com 172800 A 216.53.191.48
additional: ns2.eoriginate.com 172800 A 216.53.191.49

ok, so we have two nameservers, let's ask them what the MX is.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq mx contemporarymortgage.com 216.53.191.48
15 contemporarymortgage.com:
142 bytes, 1+1+2+2 records, response, authoritative, weird ra, noerror
query: 15 contemporarymortgage.com
answer: contemporarymortgage.com 3600 MX 10 mail.eoriginate.com
authority: contemporarymortgage.com 3600 NS ns1.eoriginate.com
authority: contemporarymortgage.com 3600 NS ns2.eoriginate.com
additional: ns1.eoriginate.com 3600 A 216.53.191.48
additional: ns2.eoriginate.com 3600 A 216.53.191.49

ok mail.eoriginate.com ... sounds good.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq mx contemporarymortgage.com 216.53.191.49
15 contemporarymortgage.com:
timed out

Not good.  Let's try one more time just to be sure.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq mx contemporarymortgage.com 216.53.191.49
15 contemporarymortgage.com:
timed out

ok, and just to be sure we don't have other issues:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq ns contemporarymortgage.com 216.53.191.48
2 contemporarymortgage.com:
121 bytes, 1+2+0+2 records, response, authoritative, weird ra, noerror
query: 2 contemporarymortgage.com
answer: contemporarymortgage.com 3600 NS ns1.eoriginate.com
answer: contemporarymortgage.com 3600 NS ns2.eoriginate.com
additional: ns1.eoriginate.com 3600 A 216.53.191.48
additional: ns2.eoriginate.com 3600 A 216.53.191.49

ok, that matches what the .com servers have told us.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq ns contemporarymortgage.com 216.53.191.49
2 contemporarymortgage.com:
timed out

so again we time out.  Let's see if that server is even responding or if it's 
just not responding for that domain:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dnsq ns eoriginate.com 216.53.191.49
2 eoriginate.com:
timed out

The dns server on 216.53.191.49 doesn't appear to be working.  This is a 
problem and will cause lots of problems, not just with email.
