Hi everyone,
  I have an odd situation here.  I have a solaris 10 x64 machine with
postfix 2.2.10 & amavids-new running, and mail to a particular domain
is not getting sent correctly.

  When I send mail to well.com, postfix tries to send mail to the IP
for well.com, and not to the IP for the MX record for well.com

the server knows that the mx record is right:

$ dig mx well.com
..
;; ANSWER SECTION:
well.com.               14147   IN      MX      10 smtp.well.com.
well.com.               14147   IN      MX      20 assassin.well.com.

but, when we try to send mail to it, here is what gets sent to the log.


Aug  9 17:02:42 e3 postfix/qmgr[26267]: [ID 197553 mail.info]
B7259232FB: to=<xxxxxx AT well DOT com>, relay=none, delay=18, status=deferred
(delivery temporarily suspended: connect to well.com[206.80.4.5]:
Connection timed out)

Any ideas what is going on?
