They blocked dynamic IP when I tried to send to <cogeco.ca>. So, I relayed through my ISP. Since I haven't received any reject message, I assume it's in queue somewhere.

Hmm, $ telnet cogeco.ca 25 554 5.7.1 zues2.cgocable.net Connection not authorized

Why are you trying to talk smtp with cogeco.ca, that host isn't listed as a mail exchanger for them?

$ host -t mx cogeco.ca cogeco.ca mail is handled by 0 MX.cogeco.ca.

Someone goofed. Tell them to fix typo in their DNS zonefile.

Why do you think that someone goofed? It's not clear to me that anything is wrong; their mx (as you pointed out) is mx.cogeco.ca, and it's reachable ... $ telnet mx.cogeco.ca 25 Trying 216.221.81.26... Connected to mx.cogeco.ca.
