Unlikely.  Lots of normal mail is flowing fine from all over the place.
And the TCP three-way handshake is completing normally and quickly.
If there were routing problems, I wouldn't expect so many connections
to even be able to establish themselves.

And I don't think it's a bad firewall rule, because as I said, lots
of normal mail is flowing just fine.
