That is the resolver's job. Exim doesn't know anything about the details
of DNS queries. It calls a resolver function and expects to get back
either the data or an error. For Exim to have got to the point where it
issues that error message, it must have received DNS_SUCCEED from the
resolver. Looks like the resolver may have yielded a success return but
with screwed up data. I'm not sure what we can do next.
