By telling it no here, you've instructed SSH to treat the host key as invalid; the connection will be closed.

There's no such domain as mail.domain_3.org in the public DNS.

Presumably you've changed this information; all I can conclude is that whichever IP address the actual name resolves to isn't running SSH (or it's not listening on that particular IP, or a firewall is blocking it, etc).
