I think that is the more likely case, yes.
I base that observation largely on the general disarray in DNS, propagation
diffs - website under construction, a redirect to another domain going walkabout
even as I was researching it, larger than usual number of third-party players, etc.
Add to that what the sendmail MTA on that box returned just now:

Certainly possible.
Unless someone else has knowledge of one or more specifics, however, we're
guessing.
Only the OP and his logs know what happened *at the time* in his case.
And he redacted the MX the custom error message was pointing him to, which might
have help resolve the mystery....

The environment in this particular case makes for a very tenuous foundation for
discussion of what Exom does about MX records.
