If qmail gets hard error (authoritative answer "host doesn't exist"), it
bounces immediatelly. However, if it gets soft error (non-
authoritative answer, lame server etc.), it keeps retrying, giving the
chance to the remote admin to fix his DNS setup.
Check your logs and your bind why is returns temporary errors for
non-existing hosts.
