Neither, it calls the DNS resolver library.

I'm sorry, but I genuinely don't understand what you mean by "a domain
sending". Do you mean that all messages (from whatever host) that have a
particular domain in the sender address are having trouble, or do you
mean that all messages from a specific host (that happens to use one
particular domain for all its sending addresses) are having trouble?

By "account" do you mean "login account on a host" or just "customer
account".

Ah. Exim 3. Sorry, I can't remember too much about Exim 3 these days. It
is now very obsolete. However, "pilotonline.com" there is a recipient
domain, not a sending domain.

But that error is clear. The DNS lookup failed in some way. The problem
is with the DNS resolver or the DNS nameserver. What output do you get
from
dig pilotonline.com mx
? On my host, it works fine.
