I doubt it would help. Since the host doesn't resolve, there's really 
nothing to debug. It can't connect to anything because it has no IP for 
the connect.

Here, you have connected to your mail server zoogz.gregorie.org

and received the standard mail server 250 connection response.

Note that it does not include AUTH, so no authentication will be allowed 
and the client should not attempt it.

This isn't a good idea. It's an open invitation to spammers to verify 
the existence of every recipient in your domain.

I presume that this is due to the fact that the connect() above failed. 
You have specified authentication by using a user/password, but the 
connection does not allow authentication. When you subsequently use 
tr.send() there is no open session so a default session is created which 
appears to be to localhost.
