Are you sure that was because of DNS? Might have been qmail. ;)

So basically, your ISP has relay checks for both SMTP AUTH and the domain
in From: and you need to find a way to re-route the mail in case the From
address does not match to the ISP's domain.
Ain't this getting too complicated? I mean, cant you instead go and find a
decent ISP or access to a relaying mail server instead of tweaking your
own config for each bounced mail?
My 2 cents.
