Slap me if I'm being dim, I've had one of those days:

mx for ukzone.com is mail.ukzone.com
mx for blackhurstswainson.co.uk is mail.blackhurstswainson.co.uk

Both have the same IP 195.8.178.184

telnet 195.8.178.184 25
telnet: connect to address 195.8.178.184: No route to host
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
