Correct.

$ host -t mx lhh.com
lhh.com mail is handled (pri=10) by fc.lhh.com
lhh.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.lhh.com
lhh.com mail is handled (pri=10) by seattle.lhh.com
lhh.com mail is handled (pri=20) by seattle2.lhh.com
DNS indicates that these four hosts are to be used as mail exchangers
for lhh.com
fc.lhh.com has address 12.25.48.197
mail.lhh.com has address 12.25.48.197
seattle.lhh.com is a nickname for lhhmail.dedicatednet.com
lhhmail.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.22
lhhmail.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.22
seattle2.lhh.com is a nickname for mx.dedicatednet.com
mx.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.11
mx.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.11
seattle.lhh.com and seattle2.lhh.com are configured wrong in DNS.
MX records may not point to CNAMEs ... thats one (not critical) problem.

So it looks like none of the prio=10 hosts was available at that time
so the message was sent to seattle.lhh.com and this smtp server is
misconfigured according to DNS as it is a MX host for lhh.com but does
not accept messages for lhh.com.
The same holds for seattle2.lhh.com:
$ telnet 207.195.180.11 smtp
Trying 207.195.180.11...
Connected to ns1.dedicatednet.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ns1.dedicatednet.com NTMail (v4.30.0013/NU7670.00.0cc0ca14) ready for ESMTP
transfer
HELO sucker
250 ns1.dedicatednet.com sucker
MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 OK.
RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
550 Mail relay not allowed at this server
quit
221 Goodbye sucker
So, either the DNS for lhh.com is set up wrong in terms of MX records
or the mail servers at dedicatednet.com are set up wrong according to
DNS.

P.S. At the moment the prio 10 MX hosts work (again) for me.
