sendmail:
--- cut -- dnsbl Turns on rejection of hosts found in an DNS based rejection list. If an argument is provided it is used as the domain [...] information. By default, temporary lookup failures are ignored. This behavior can be changed by specifying a third argument, which must be either `t' or a full error message. See the anti-spam configuration control section for --- cut --
_Anyone_ changing the default behaviour of "temporary lookup failure" to reject mail should be treated with a really large clue-bat (TM).
