Check the send connector and make sure it is set up to use the same DNS settings as your NIC, otherwise your nslookup check would give you different results. You can set the connector to use DNS other than what the server's NIC is set to use. Perhaps someone did that......

Exchange 2007 We're cannot send email to one domain (lobassopackaging.com). Queue viewer is showing them failing with "451 4.4.0 DNS query failed". Nslookup (run on the Exchange server) resolves the mx record as inbound.lobassopackaging.com.namesecuremail.net. That name resolves to 205.178.149.7 . I can telnet to port 25 on that server perfectly. Ideas?
