Somewhat related: we had a similar problem with Gmail's "send mail as" 
autoconfig for our SMTP MSA.  The wrong info wasn't coming from our SRV 
records, our autoconfig service, our autodiscover service, and it wasn't using 
mail.<domain> or any other well-known.  

IIRC Google front-line support claimed they actively query DNS, but it seems 
clear that they had it hard coded or don't actively update cached information 
previously obtained from DNS.  

Could be a similar situation at Samsung.  

Cache invalidation is one of the 2 hardest problems in computer science, after 
all.

Mozilla maintains ISPDB, which has no entry for Fastmail.   They also support 
the autoconfig.example.com mechanism, which we support.  We could get an entry 
in ISPDB, but since that's not what Samsung is using (since they have old 
data), it seems not helpful.  Or, maybe they're using some ancient version in 
which we appeared…

Our SRV records are correct.
