Assuming that the "Diagnostic-Code" field of the rejection message is in
fact the real reason for the failure and not doing something thatb
mimics DNS failure or tells outright lies, this indicates that their DNS
resolver is broken.

Whose DNS resolver?

The system generating that "Diagnostic-Code" field claiming that resolution isn't working for the perfectly resolvable Ironport name.

I missed that the name is an MX for the recipient address, rather than the name of the machine trying unsuccessfully to pass along the message, i.e. based on the opening line I thought that the error occurred while "talking to" the next hop.
