DNS config preventing mail delivery

Hi

Please can you help on this: the Net Admins decided to use DNS to resolve names, so this is preventing mail being delivered when using commands like
Code:
date | mailx -s "test" abc.xyz@asdf.xx.yy

.
What we were asked was to edit
Code:
/etc/resolv.conf

and add 3 entries, in all servers

Net::DNS::RR::LP(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Net::DNS::RR::LP(3)

NAME
Net::DNS::RR::LP - DNS LP resource record SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS; $rr = new Net::DNS::RR('name IN LP preference locator'); $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( name => 'example.com', type => 'LP', preference => 10, locator => 'locator.example.com' ); DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS Locator Pointer (LP) resource records. The LP DNS resource record (RR) is used to hold the name of a subnetwork for ILNP. The name is an FQDN which can then be used to look up L32 or L64 records. LP is, effectively, a Locator Pointer to L32 and/or L64 records. METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package. Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. preference $preference = $rr->preference; A 16 bit unsigned integer in network byte order that indicates the relative preference for this LP record among other LP records associated with this owner name. Lower values are preferred over higher values. locator $locator = $rr->locator; The Locator field contains the DNS target name that is used to reference L32 and/or L64 records. COPYRIGHT
