[cobalt-users] MX record help needed

["Jonathan Rosenberg" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going nuts trying to configure a virt site to accept email.  I have
tried a couple MX configs and none work.  I tried the way it is in the Raq3
manual and in the list archives.

server background:
columbusinteractive.com is IP xxx.xxx.xxx.145 (it is the base url of the
Raq3, also used as the DNS server) , politics2004.com is a virtual site on
IP xxx.xxx.xxx.146
it is set to accept mail for the domain in the site settings.

when it is set like it says to in the manual:
politics2004.com  mail sent to high pri. server  www.politics2004.com or
columbusinteractive.com ,  I get the following error:

The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<politics2004@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 MX list for politics2004.com. points back to ns1.columbusinteractive.com
554 <politics2004@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... Local configuration error

The same thing happens if I send mail to politics2004@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And if I set no MX record, I get the following error (expected):

----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 politics2004.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 <politics2004@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... Local configuration error

so, what on earth do I set the MX records to be?  Thanks!!!!
