How do you know their "submitting/outgoing mail servers" list? Note that the DNS MX RR list points to their incoming mail servers. Some people have different pools of servers to process outgoing email. Could this be the reason why you don't get a single email from a "large American domain"? You might be blocking their "email-out" servers... Just a wild guess.
Of course, I might. What happened, was I wanted to shut out those who used our mailserver directly. I called Psi and asked them if they could tell me what IP-addresses their mailservers had. I explained that I planned to shut out most of their addresses, but that I would let their mailservers through. She wouldn't tell me, so I would either have to accept the spam, or shut out all mailservers not registered. However, I do receive the standard replies when I complain about spam to abuse@psi.net, so they have at least one mailserver that we do accept mail from, and that they use to send mail out. What I said was that we didn't receive any mail from them in that specific 48 hours. -- Med vennlig hilsen/Regards Ina Faye-Lund Telenor Nextel AS
