But the Xerox servers aren't accepting a connection. The apparent
accepted connection is a side effect of the Raptor proxy firewall. If that
firewall wasn't in the way, they'd just refuse connection and qmail would
back off to the next MX immediately.

If anyone is broken here, its my firewall, not their mail setup. No
one here LIKES their mail setup, but that doesn't make it broken; it
conforms with all relevant RFCs that I'm aware of.
