I need to send my outbound email to "mail.bellsouth.net", however

Is there any way to specify to esmptroutes to use only the A
records? I hardcoded one of the IP addresses in the file and it
works fine, but I don't like that solution because it's going to
break if they change the IP addresses of their mail servers or
remove the one I'm using.
These are the DNS responses I get:
mail.bellsouth.net. 6617 IN MX 0 mx00.mail.bellsouth.net.
mail.bellsouth.net. 6617 IN MX 0 mx01.mail.bellsouth.net.
mail.bellsouth.net. 3487 IN A 205.152.59.17
mail.bellsouth.net. 3487 IN A 205.152.59.16
mx00.mail.bellsouth.net. 6617 IN A 205.152.59.32
mx01.mail.bellsouth.net. 6617 IN A 205.152.59.33
You can explicitly specify 'mx00.mail.bellsouth.net' in esmtproutes.
Yes, but that won't work because mx00 and mx01 will not relay mail for
me. I need to send the mail to 'mail.bellsouth.net'. This means it
has to get to either 205.152.59.16 or 205.152.59.17. Is there any way
to do this without hardcoding one of those two IPs?
wouldn't it just be easier to complain to bellsouth that its mail
configuration is broken? how do you normally use them if they can't send
mail? I don't think this would just be limited to a problem with courier.
