This seems to be the explanation:

$ dig supercom.ca. aaaa

; <<>> DiG 8.1 <<>> supercom.ca. aaaa 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      supercom.ca, type = AAAA, class = IN


8.12 will most likely have a workaround for this (as usual sendmail
provides a workaround for almost every broken configuration...)

	New ResolverOptions setting: WorkAroundBrokenAAAA.  When
		attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken nameservers
		will return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6)
		lookups.  If you want to excuse this behavior, use this new
		flag.  Suggested by Chris Foote of SE Network Access and
		Mark Roth of the University of Illinois at
		Urbana-Champaign.
