My DNS servers have neither MX nor A record for msa.hinet.tw.
$ telnet msa.hinet.tw 25
telnet: could not resolve msa.hinet.tw/25: Name or service not known
If that's the case though, I'd expect the mail to be bounced rather
than queued.
Hinet is indeed a Taiwanese ISP and famous mainly for not doing
anything noticable about spam/abuse complaints IIRC.

For any Xtra techos out there, we have a customer getting mail sent back after 4 day with "Host msa.hinet.net is not responding" (See below)
msa.hinet.net seem to be a Taiwanese Telco.
They have 12 MX records for that domain and each MX as around 9 addresses, so they have over 90 mailservers.
So whatever the problem is, routing, blocking etc, it's not Host is not responding.
Thanks.
