Ok, so you want to break something that works to work with something that is
broken?
Give us the server you think is broken and let us look at it.
We are only here to help, but we can't if you don't let us.
Many, Many, Many times what looks like MTA errors are DNS errors.
The PROPER thing to do would be to notify the zone admin and have them fix
it.
