553 5.3.5 www.carnetonlinelimited.co.uk. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

Can somone explain this message to me... in plain english?

If I have all the domain's aliased in the email server settings, mail for users works fine, but email to their aliases bounces back "user unknown". So the Cobalt Knowledgebase tells me to alias the domain in the site's settings - but this precludes the aliases in the email server settings - in fact it removes them.... and of course I then get the MX looping problem: Catch-22.

If an email alias does not save, normally it means someone else already has the alias or it is a reserved name.

I *think* the DNS is all set up ok, but that might well be where the problem lies. Or maybe something fundamentally wrong with my system software...
