Yep. That was my point from the very beginning. This behaviour is 
correct as far as I am concerned.

I thought you tried to argue that you misspell an address and will 
not learn before a week - but that's not too probable that a 
misspelled address produces temporary DNS error.

(OTOH, now my queue contains quite a few mails to a host with a 
lame server - top-level servers for .it know the domain but the 
designated servers never heard of it. This is a soft error too.)
