Exchange2003, Can not send to multi-record SMTP server

I have a problem with my exchange 2003 Server. When I try to send e-mails to customers from a Danish ISP Cybercity I get this message after a few days:


"Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified.  Please retry or contact your administrator."

 

The user I am sending to is on c-mi.dk

 

When looking at the Cybercity configuration I see this:

 

> c-mi.dk
Server:  temp.premitech.net
Address:  192.168.101.64

 

Non-authoritative answer:
c-mi.dk MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mailgate.cybercity.dk
c-mi.dk MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ywuser.cybercity.dk

 

mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.53
mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.4
mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.52
ywuser.cybercity.dk     internet address = 212.242.40.146
ywuser.cybercity.dk     internet address = 212.242.40.82

 


When I test it I get this :
   ywuser.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.82  [Could not connect: Could not connect to mail server (connection refused by remote mailserver).  NOTE: Per the RFCs, mailservers are allowed to continuously retry this server until it is back online, and not try other MX records (RFC2821 3.9).]
   ywuser.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.146  [Could not connect: Could not connect to mail server (connection refused by remote mailserver).  NOTE: Per the RFCs, mailservers are allowed to continuously retry this server until it is back online, and not try other MX records (RFC2821 3.9).]
   ywuser.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.147  [Could not connect: Could not connect to mail server (connection refused by remote mailserver).  NOTE: Per the RFCs, mailservers are allowed to continuously retry this server until it is back online, and not try other MX records (RFC2821 3.9).]
   mailgate.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.52  [Successful connect: Got a good response [250 Ok]]
   mailgate.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.53  [Successful connect: Got a good response [250 Ok]]
   mailgate.cybercity.dk. - 212.242.40.4  [Successful connect: Got a good response [250 Ok]]

 

Apparently  my exchange server does not try all the servers, but keeps trying the first server. Is there anywhere in the exchange configuration that you can change this?
