[cobalt-users] 553 mail.surfus.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

["Rod Poplarchick" <rod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a domain I have had for a long time. (surfus.COM )Then one day a ISP
starts up surfus.NET. They have a lot of dumb users that do not know what
there email address is and they alway us .com insted of .NET. for a few
years Ive been getting bad email for thier users.about 200 a day and I just
have my server junk them.

Now last month I just started using a Cobalt (without DNS server setup at
this time)im using my ISP's because they tell me they are not setup at this
time to let me use DNS on my Blue Box ?? soon they say.

I few times I have been getting mail like this to Admin@xxxxxxxxxx
Can anyone tell me what this is and what I can do stop getting more like
this?
Im new to this so be kind
Thanks
