Calvis,
There is no complete process/transaction in this email, so it is hard to say
what is going on. See the numbers in (), well, you need all the lines with
that number to show a complete transaction.
MX connect fail messages are explained in the KB, but basically mean that
IMail could not connect to the host referenced by the MX record. Reasons for
that could be things like bad DNS data or network or connection problems.
Also see 'Stack fail connect'.
I've seen this when someone enters the IP for the gateway in IMail as the IP
for their router! It should not be the IP of your router, but the IP for a
mail server that can deliver the email (a relay, usually). IMail does not
'need' a gateway under normal conditions. If you don't have one, then remove
that setting and stop/start the SMTP service.
