You may want to ping someone instead, possibly the admin of whatever machine
is telling you "unknown host", about dealing inconsistently with MX records.

Until they fix it, though, you could maybe use 

  adam%smith.com@relay1.UU.NET

Non-authoritative answer:
smith.com       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay1.UU.NET
smith.com       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay2.UU.NET
(etc.)
gateway.smith.com       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay1.UU.NET
gateway.smith.com       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay2.UU.NET
(etc.)
crunch.smith.com        preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay1.UU.NET
crunch.smith.com        preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay2.UU.NET
