First, what _exactly_is the symptom. All the traceroute shows is how to
get to the site. Connecting with a browser proves that the site exists.
Neither has any necessary connection with your problem.
FWIW, I rarely use "traceroute" these days since many routers now filter ICMP
messages. Since the site being talked about is
risingstarmbc.com and since the word
"email" was used in the OP's message and since host returns....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ host
risingstarmbc.com
risingstarmbc.com has address 204.10.137.200
risingstarmbc.com mail is handled by 20

I use tcptraceroute to check and get....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo tcptraceroute -n
mx13.hostrack.net 25

Same is true for all the MX hosts as well as (using the appropriate ports) for
pop.risingstarmbc.com and
imap.risingstarmbc.com.
