Nothing to do with archan or bigfoot. This is a process running on your
mailserver (cardioemail.com). The cardioemail.com server is not able to
connect to / resolve bigfoot.com

Hmmm... let me see.
Non-authoritative answer:
bigfoot.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = mail.bigfoot.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
bigfoot.com nameserver = NS1.bigfoot.com
bigfoot.com nameserver = NS2.bigfoot.com
bigfoot.com nameserver = NS.bigfoot.com
mail.bigfoot.com internet address = 208.156.39.203
NS1.bigfoot.com internet address = 208.156.39.8
NS2.bigfoot.com internet address = 64.240.138.75
NS.bigfoot.com internet address = 206.132.3.8

Looks like there's no smtp server running at bigfoot.com

There _is_ one running at mail.bigfoot.com - Bigfoot's MX (mail exchanger)
server.
your DNS is fscked up, I expect. fix it.
;; bigfoot.com, type = A, class = IN

Oh wait, this is typical of $%^$^$%# smtpd-32 / imail and such crapware. Goes
straight for an A record, ignoring MX records. Disastrous when the two are on
different IPs (and likely, different servers).
