Oh yes... maybe you are right.
mx0.esenf.pt is a fake mx record that point to a dead ip (perhaps
it's more appropriate to point to an real ip with the port 25 closed)
and mx.fakemx.net is a free fake mx service offered by fakemx.org,
that temporary reject with a "451 Try again later" message for
anti-spam purposes. I try this well know trick many years ago, but
sinceraly i don't know if it's really useful and efective.
For now i removed from dns server the mx0 record, wait for propagation
process of our updated domain name and then i will test if that solved the
problem.
Many thanks
