It sounds like there might be a local mailer (submission queue) running on X, but not SMTP. The message from A was that it couldn't connect to X. (Deferred: Connection timed out with tools2.wms.cell.com) what do you get if you try telnetting from A to X telnet tools2.wms.cell.com 25 (if you get a connection, good, try following these instructions to send a mail manually via telnet) http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html If not, have you tried restarting postfix on X?
