Emails sent to a particular domain (telnet-bd.com) is always using the lower priority MX which happens to be down and so the emails are not getting delivered.
From my server:
Code:
[root@mx1 ~]# host -t mx telnet-bd.com
telnet-bd.com mail is handled by 50 mx-in-02.telnet-bd.com.
telnet-bd.com mail is handled by 10 mx-in-01.telnet-bd.com.
[root@mx1 ~]# mailq

(Deferred: Connection refused by mx-in-02.telnet-bd.com.)
postmaster@telnet-bd.com
(...truncated...)
/var/log/maillog shows no connection attempt made to the higher MX mx-in-01.telnet-bd.com at all.
I can connect to the higher priority MX but not the lower 1 from the server:
Code:
[root@mx1 ~]# telnet mx-in-01.telnet-bd.com 25
