  I have never seen such box, but badly behaving firewalls
  are not a new phenomena...

  It looks like an SMTP server that does a store and forward
  processing..  e.g. the SMTP session terminates at that box.

  You might get messages to go thru, if you route them thru
  'smtp77' channel (e.g. intentionally disable every extension
  beyond basic half-duplex RFC 821).  If it helps, I am most
  curious about the difference of SMTP protocol at network level
  in both cases, e.g. tcpdump (or snoop) of related network traffic:
      tcpdump -s 9999 -w tcpdump.1.2.3.4.default  host 1.2.3.4
  and after route change:
      tcpdump -s 9999 -w tcpdump.1.2.3.4.smtp77  host 1.2.3.4

  If that doesn't help, perhaps the snoops give me some ideas...
