Hmm... one could debate wether it is SMTP that is broken, but fixing
something broken by breaking it again does not help either.

Actually I would not check the destination but the sender's SPF record;
this is the relevant one: with SPF the recipient of an email is able to
verify the sending server. In your case there is a mail bastion (tuvok)
in between that refuses to accept those mails.
