Last few days, I'm seeing large amount of failures in a log file for domains using protection.outlook.com:

to=<u...@example.com>, relay=none, delay=13190, delays=13187/0.08/2.2/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=example-com.mail.protection.outlook.com type=AAAA: Host not found, try again)

These domains do have A records, but some of them can take anywhere from .75 of a second to 3 seconds to return a result from DNS lookup (using dig).

When postfix reports it cannot find AAAA record, can I assume every time it retries it also looks for the A record?

Is the problem a lookup timeout? Never seen this before the last few days, so am inclined to think it's mostly their problem, or is there something I could do?
