There is not just one Postfix, the one speak of has earlier incarnations,

Once again flawed observations, lets just drop it here. The subsequent
retries also tried the same MX hosts, but there is no need to continue

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
