Inasmuch as variations of this question have now appeared several times on
Info-Nets and in comp.mail.misc, I pass on what I was recently told, i.e., 
that nac.no is no longer an MX for any host in the .su domain.

By now all name servers should have correct information.  In the future, if
one must deal with a name server which tries to route mail via an incorrect
gateway, I guess a hack such as user%domain@valid.mail.exchanger could be 
used in emergencies.
