[thelist] SMTP / DNS problems

Anyone out there know about the SMTP error that causes an email to bounce
with the following message:

"Remote host said: Domain of sender address bobbi at fischercommunicaionts.com
does not resolve"

I have been scouring the web trying to figure this one out. The email is
bouncing from one of my clients when she tries to send me email. I am trying
to help her (and her ISP) figure out why it's happening. It seems to be a
DNS error, but being quite a neophyte with DNS issues, I am stumped.

Can anyone help me figure out why sendmail doesn't like this email address?
Here are the headers from the email:
