mailer.symantec.com is doing a "DNS validation" of "MAIL FROM: 
sender@senderdomain" before accepting the message.  It queries DNS 
for senderdomain, at least for an A record, maybe for an MX record, 
so let's try that with dig:

dig florida.com A

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> florida.com A
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      florida.com, type = A, class = IN


dig florida.com mx

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> florida.com mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      florida.com, type = MX, class = IN

"answer: 0" for @senderdomain, has neither A or MX records so the msg 
is rejected.

Both NS's are failing to give out authoritative answers for 
florida.com, usually means the zone file has a syntax error.

Poor Florida, nothing works right down there. Maybe maddog Feeney was 
right, secede from the Union!!  :)))   I see where Dave Barry said 
Florida was going to be given back to Spain, but Spain is appealing!  LOL
