After doing some more digging (literally) I've found that the problem
here seems to be in this case attempting to get an MX record for
ns.web2010.com leads to a timeout for some reason. From the SOA record
returned for the domain it is probably a database config error. However,
it would seem to me that if sender_verify_fixup is defined, then it
might be a more preferable strategy to fall through to it rather than
defering on the timed out MX lookup on the envelope From line. Is this
possible? Would it be a good idea?
