DNS lookups are case insensitive, so unless you tell us what the
actual domain is, we can't tell you what's wrong. The most likely
explanation is domain.com doesn't exist or has badly broken name
servers and/or a mangled delegation. Or they could have a broken mail
system that generates junk mail headers with unrepliable addresses.
BTW, the name servers listed for the *real* domain.com don't seem to
be responding. However since this is an example "placeholder" domain,
this isn't unreasonable or unexpected.
