Alright sometimes the emails come back bounced and sometimes they are
buffered and sent at a later time sometimes 16 hours late or 11 and
sometimes it comes back with the CNAME error

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.lacombe.ca.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<*********@gov.ab.ca>:
CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
--- Below this line is a copy of the message.
I am in contact with an employee at the government to see how long it
takes for the email to get to him. Would you have any idea why this is
happening it may not be a DNS error I am just going with the CNAME look up
error and what I have found on the internet.
