Sendmail pays attention to the return value from doing DNS queries. If
sendmail receives an NXDOMAIN response, it treats that as a permanent, 5xx
failure code. If sendmail gets a timeout/TRY_AGAIN, it will return a 4xx

Sendmail rejects many messages as for example:

ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
