Well, I'm not sure that you can say routing via nac.no is "incorrect",
inasmuch as nac.no is one of three mail exchangers known to name servers.

However, a similar problem was recently posted on the Info-Nets list 
concerning nac.no being unable to identify a host in the .perm.su domain.

As of today, the bouncing had stopped and mail was going through; apparently
a problem at nac.no had been fixed or some other MX host was being used.

If this happened to me, I think I'd write to postmaster@nac.no to ask what's
going on, and, if not happy with the answer, follow-up with a recommendation
to hostmaster@nic.eu.net to consider dropping nac.no as a mail exchanger.

But then it didn't happen to me, so all I will do is kibitz ;-})
