The problem MAY be with the site to which you are trying to send e-mail.
I have a problem sending e-mail to

     aone.net.au

But I used the doc-2.1.4 utility to discover that all four of the
nameservers for that domain are not responding authoritatively.  So I
sent e-mail to the net.au DNS administrator.  I wish
I could use the same utility to see if your problem is the same, but
you have not given us the information we need to diagnose your problem.

I would assume that if a company has a mis-configured DNS then the DNS
administrator(s) for that company would want to know.  I do not think
that "keeping them happy" is consistent with this view.
