The same hostname at two different MX values isn't "fine", but isn't
causing this problem.

If I try to connect to mail.itsupplies.net on port 25, the packets are
blackholed. Are you sure that you're not packet-filtering TCP/25?

If I try to connect to itsupplies.net on port 25, I get a connection.
This is strange, since mail.itsupplies.net != itsupplies.net, and the MX
records mean mail for itsupplies.net will _always_ go towards
mail.itsupplies.net. So the only reason for an SMTP service to be
publically listening on itsupplies.net is if it's there for some other
domain.

: %; telnet itsupplies.net 25
Trying 212.4.208.121...
Connected to itsupplies.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ultra21.uk2net.com ESMTP Sendmail 0.0.0/0.0.0 ready at Tue, 19 Feb 2002 02:09:09 GMT
QUIT
221 2.0.0 ultra21.uk2net.com closing connection

Sendmail? Sendmail 0.0.0/0.0.0 ? It returns ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES in the
EHLO response, so this isn't Exim dressed up to look like Sendmail in
the connection banner.

Sure you have your DNS and packet-filtering set up correctly?
