Exchange 5 "Host not found" error

I'm using Exchange Server 5 (w/ SP2) on NT 4.0. Sometimes users cannot send messages  and get an " Host
Unknown" error. We run our Primary DNS (NT's DNS Manager), Exchange and NT on the same server. We have tested the DNS server which did not give any errors.

The domain name for the recipient IS correct an the recipient DOES exist on that domain's mail server. The sender has been using the same e-mail addresses all along. When I use NSLOOKUP to check the destination server, it is working fine. The DNS Manager on our NT server is also set up by a Microsoft SOlution Provider. Could it be the address book's use of 'Display Name' is having a problem?
