  I couldn't ping either mail server from my Comcast connection and I 
get mixed results doing traceroutes from Internet utilites web sites.

First one to mx.spiritone.com

calcium.spiritone.com    216.99.193.20    us    147.483 ms

That is the same subnet both mail servers are on. The traceroute ends 
with "No reply for 5 hops. Assuming we reached firewall."

To mx.spiritone.com from different site gets there in 9 hops.

To mx2.spiritone.com from same site as above gets to 
216.99.193.11lithium.spiritone.com and then the trace is aborted.

Traceroutes from home to Spiritone ip addrs are over 20 hops and bounce 
around on Comcast & Cogent networks. Whereas from here, 
https://centralops.net/co/, to mx2.spiritone.com results in:

Smells to me like a Internet routing problem.
