Ex55 SP4, NT4 SP6a

I'm having problems with users being unable to send to mail addresses in the
.biz root domain. It seems pretty obvious that somewhere, somethings not
configured to allow .biz through. The problem I have is that every server in
the equation here is looked after by different people, all of whom say their
server is fine, and resolving the DNS/MX without problem. So here's the
scenario:

NDR: (Names have been changed to protect...something...)
C=US;A= ; P=Exchange ;lSERVER1-011129123354z-5796
ms exchange :ims:exch:site:SMTPSERVER 3550 (0009009AA)550 5.1.2 unknown host
or domain

SERVER1 - Users mail server
SMTPSERVER - Server with the SMTP connectors/IMS on
MAILHUB - VMS Server where SMTPSERVER sends everything. 
After MAILHUB, mail goes through MessageLabs for virus scanning.

SMTPSERVER's admin is saying the NDR is being generated because MAILHUB
isn't correctly configured for .biz root domains, and that SMTPSERVER does
no DNS lookups at all. MAILHUB's admin is saying that Exchange is delivering
the NDR, hence it's exchange that's got the problem. MessageLabs say they
can handle .biz without problems. 

I know it's not a lot to go on, but can anyone give me any idea as to where
the problem lies? The problem with my situation is that whoever has the
problem has to do work if they admit it, and blaming someone else is a lot
easier for everyone except me, who has to return to the users with a fixed
email system!

All help, as always, is appreciated
