Contacts whoever is in charge of the DNS of the domain that you are
trying to reach. And ask them to fix it!
We get that all the time here. It all comes down to error in the way DNS
is configured. ALWAYS! The more I work in this industry, the more I feel
that half those who work in it hasn't got a clue between them.

No. you definitly *want* routing errors to fail. It is not the job of
the MTA to fix broken DNS servers. Sure, if you shift 1000 emails a day,
who cares if a few stay in your queue for a few hours, but if you shift
10 millions, you don't want any queue whatsoever.
