[cobalt-users] DNS / e-mail problem web site works but not e-mail

["Wayne McBryde" <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Raq 4r and a Raq 3i.  Both have all patches installed.
I use the 4r as a primary name server and the 3i as secondary.
If I use a 3rd party DNS service the e-mail works.  If I setup the DNS, the
web site works but not e-mail.  I get an error when sending "The domain of
sender address bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not resolve".
I have worked on this problem on and off for 2 months now.  I have looked at
the Cobalt archives as well as other sites with DNS info, but I an a novice
at this and some of what I read is over my head.  I know I am missing
something but don't know what.
The domain I am trying to setup is flowers123.com.
Below is the DNS info copied from my server.

 flowers123.com      209.198.23.218
 www.flowers123.com      209.198.23.218
 209.198.23.208/24      flowers123.com
 209.198.23.218/24      www.flowers123.com
 flowers123.com   mail is sent to the High priority mail server
flowers123.com

I have also tried changing the MX record to:
flowers123.com -> www.flowers123.com and
flowers123.com -> mail.flowers123.com

but it still did not work.
