Sure, I know a cause generally. That's why I've got in my locals and
rcpthosts moko.lodz.tpsa.pl and www.lodz.tpsa.pl and lodz.tpsa.pl :-) .
I meant _this_ particular case, see below.

In such sense:

moko:~$ host mail.JAMMConsulting.com
mail.JAMMConsulting.com does not exist (Authoritative answer)

Even when I ask the authoritative nameserver:

moko:~$ host mail.JAMMConsulting.com ns.DenverOnline.com
mail.JAMMConsulting.com does not exist at ns.DenverOnline.com
(Authoritative answer)
