Note that tertiary-mx has various measures in place to discourage spam. You need to wait until after the "220 You are 2001:8b0:0::1" line is printed before you can issue the etrn, which may take a few seconds. Mismatching forward/reverse DNS etc. may upset it when you try to telnet in. If possible telnet in from your mail server itself, as that is more likely to look trustworthy.
