Just trying to get my head round the error and understand what is
actually happening.
So to summarize, the delivery.mailspampropection.com domain has 81 A
records which, when queried won't fit into a UDP packet which explains
why Postfix correctly says it can't resolve the hostname.
Is there some kind of fix I can employ here for this particular server?
Would entries in the /etc/hosts file work? I assume that if I have
"multi on", I can put an entry in for each A record?

So if this gives me the right info - why does Postfix say it can't reslove?
Please don't blame the messenger.
*warning: hostname delivery.mailspamprotection.com does not resolve to
address 198.143.161.12: Name or service not known*
That is an error from YOUR SYSTEM LIBRARY.
