1. Seems strange that you would need two MTAs at this site; it is
obvious that you don't have much volume if you're relaying through
gmail.

2. "man 5 postconf" and pay attention to syntax. There is no "=" in
what you're showing us here.

We can't help you unless you SHOW US these logs.

Oxymoron there: if there is a mynetworks line in main.cf, mynetworks
isn't at its default.

The list welcome message and DEBUG_README.html#mail which tell you
how to ask questions here which can be answered.

Since B is the one with the problem, we'd want to see B's logs and
"postconf -n". But it wouldn't hurt to also see what A has in its
postconf output: my WAG here would be that inet_interfaces is set.
