As shown here and here you seem to have recurring problems understanding (or testing) connectivity with remote MTAs. If the remote host throws an error saying the "SMTP server is not available" then you can test connectivity by doing a curl, wget, GET or telnet to that remote host mail server port to see if it is not available. Note that (unless you have b0rked your MTA configuration or are forced to work with a not-so-well behaving MTA) any mail for any unavailable remote host will be queued for re-send cycles as per mail RFCs. So start by testing connectivity.

Any "plain" terminal window (cmd.exe, kterm, xterm, etc, etc) will do.
Start with your local workstation, then try again from the mail server itself.
