You're jumping to conclusions.

1) That's not the domain that's having problems.
2) It's MX-es are not running postfix (they are running courier)
3) The MX-es are there for a reason. Google "nolisting".
4) Lots of MX-es are no excuse whatsoever for not re-trying them in the
correct order, whether their IPs get reported back in the additional
section or not.
