It is obviously some re- and misconfiguration. A nslookup to lists.kjsl.com
resolves to 198.137.202.3. This one is up and accepts SMTP requests.
A nslookup requesting a MX record resolves to "ironpor2.layer42.net", which
doesn't have any DNS record and therefore cannot be resolved. Replacing
the name with "ironport2.layer42.net" resolves to 69.36.224.25. This host
is up and accepts SMTP connections as well.
