dkim: lookup failed: DNS query timeout

The whole error shown is:

Feb 13 03:07:31 localhost spamd[15060]: dkim: lookup failed: DNS query timeout 
for _policy._domainkey.littlepinkeggs.com 

I notice that several of my hourly logcheck messages are missing from a 
certain time period forward, also in my spam folder one message is repeated 
multiple times. Looking in my earthlink webmail folder I see that same 
message is still there. I also see this in my logs:

Feb 13 03:09:41 localhost fetchmail[27931]: socket error while fetching from 
pop.earthlink.net 

If I delete this message from my webmail folder, mail pickup continues as 
normal. The headers of the message are below:

I've removed part of the subject, not sure if it would have been tagged as 
spam due to that or not. What could be causing this? Is it a fetchmail 
problem, DNS problem?

Thanks Mark, its odd though that once I delete the message from the EL server, 
things are back to normal in regards to the socket error.

Chris,

DNS setup of domain littlepinkeggs.com is terribly broken,
they have no name servers, and even whois gets stuck on them.
The response from dkim plugin is normal.

DNS problem on their side.

This may be unrelated to the littlepinkeggs.com problem.
