This has been going on for days now. Is that maybe one of the rare
cases where "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes" makes sense?

gulliver:~$ host -t MX bigfoot.de
bigfoot.de MX record currently not present
gulliver:~$ host -t A bigfoot.de
bigfoot.de A record currently not present
gulliver:~$ host -t CNAME bigfoot.de
bigfoot.de CNAME record currently not present

That's ridiculous! They DON'T WANT any mail!
