"sender domain" is the "MAIL FROM: sender@senderdomain". sender domain better have both an A record and an MX record.

ok, NOW there is an A record ( I guess you fixed it, huh?) :
# dig creationethics.org
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> creationethics.org ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; creationethics.org, type = A, class = IN
;; ANSWER SECTION: creationethics.org. 1H IN A 207.254.127.215
..... but no is stil no MX record (don't you want to receive mail ??) :
# dig creationethics.org mx
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> creationethics.org mx ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; creationethics.org, type = MX, class = IN
;; AUTHORITY SECTION: creationethics.org. 1H IN SOA webterminator87.dedicated.com. geospin.dedicated.com. ( 10 ; serial 15M ; refresh 10M ; retry 1D ; expiry 1H ) ; minimum
Self-protecting mail servers don't make up these rejection reasons for general amusement.
I trust mail servers' decisions about DNS data more than I trust people to set up the DNS data correctly in the first place. Read the logs, fix the DNS.
