But it seems to me that the mx for schoeneman.com points to
login.f-tech.net:
# nslookup -query=mx schoeneman.com
Server: dns1.memphis.edu
Address: 141.225.253.21
schoeneman.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = login.f-tech.net
[...]
login.f-tech.net internet address = 207.44.65.15
and I certainly was not able to telnet to port 25 on login.f-tech.net:
$ telnet login.f-tech.net 25
Trying 207.44.65.15...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
while I could
$ telnet mail.f-tech.net 25
Trying 207.44.65.16...
Connected to mail.f-tech.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.f-tech.net ESMTP
quit
221 mail.f-tech.net
Connection closed by foreign host.
