The problem could be related to the MX records for foo.com which point to 0.0.0.0
host -t mx foo.com
foo.com mail is handled by 1000 0.0.0.0.
however things might fall back to the A records I guess..
foo.com has address 23.21.179.138
foo.com has address 23.21.224.150

@ is the local host name - you should check that the hostname is set correctly and has
proper forward and reverse DNS entries ( eg linode.foo.com ) as otherwise the
remote server is likely to reject any messages ( if it thinks you are spoofing some address which
may be the case if it thinks it handles mail for that domain )
