I also opened for their mailservers, but there were _no_ connections from those. Not one single try.
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. kind regards,
