I guess they really really don't want to get any mail. If they've
pointed their MX's at hosts that don't exist then there's absolutely
nothing you can do to connect to them. I.e. it's not your problem.

I suppose if you could find a mailer running at their end then you could
try to rewrite their addresses to it, but I wouldn't bother.
