I did a cursory look at that domain's MX records and everything
appears fine. Their SMTP server is responding, the hostname resolves,
etc.

Can you check and make sure that you're not having resolution issues,
or perhaps old cached records, on your end?

My results:

[heath at pho ~]$ dig mx oregonhba.com

; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-RedHat-9.6.1-3.fc11 <<>> mx oregonhba.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 8865
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;oregonhba.com.			IN	MX

;; ANSWER SECTION:
oregonhba.com.		490	IN	MX	5 mail.oregonhba.com.

heath at pho ~]$ host mail.oregonhba.com
mail.oregonhba.com has address 173.8.221.162
