I have been getting a few sites that have DNS problems is there a workaround
to get this to work. We have a client who is getting upset and keeps blaming
us for the fault.
Below is a debug from our system showing the bug
The last system we contacted with this error said they were working fine
with sendmail but changed the DNS and it seems to be working now.
Thanks for any ideas.

poleary@??? is undeliverable:
all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts: it appears that the
DNS operator for this domain has installed an invalid MX record with an IP
