$ host -t mx technion.ac.il
technion.ac.il mail is handled by 10 techunix.technion.ac.il.
technion.ac.il mail is handled by 20 mrelay.technion.ac.il.

I get connection refused at techunix.technion.ac.il.

At mrelay.technion.ac.il there is a greetpause.  Any chance Exchange
is not waiting for the 220 response?  That could not be normal for
Exchange but maybe it is (mis)configurable.

I didn't send any mail so I don't know whether I'd get greylisted.
