I would question their competence right there. If it's an MX, it needs to actually handle mail.

As long as your side keeps retrying, it will eventually manage to deliver to the one that actually accepts mail. But please tell the other side to just fix their setup. > I talked to the guy on the other "Mailserver" side and he says we > are the only one who have a problem since they deployed that setup > in 2014. The only one seeing the problem? No. The only one looking into the problem and telling them about it? Quite possible. As in, most people wouldn't know what to look for, and in most cases mail would eventually be delivered anyway, but delivery would not happen immediatel y. The only advice I can offer is to check that your side has a reasonable retry period (IIRC default setups for all the MTAs on OpenBSD come with reasonable settings, but do check), and tell the other side that for their own sake they need to fix their setup. - -- Peter N.
