brackets will make it use the A record or IP address straight, rather
than asking postfix to figure out the MX record first.
do
host my.isp.mail.server.com
and obtain the IP from the result. then, do these two:
ping <ipaddress>
telnet <ipaddress> 25
report what you see. also, what's the entries in /var/log/mail.log,
and the output of the `mailq` command?
