The problem seems to be specific to merlin.daad.de and the
daadjp.com domain -- I tried a number of other domains from
merlin and the all resolved correctly.
It resolves correctly from the secondary deneb.dfn.de
If you just want to *mask* the problem, switch DNS resolution
on the outbound email relay to deneb.dfn.de
Since the problem seems specific to merlin.daad.de and the
domain, it's probably something the person maintining the
server will need to inspect/resolve.
