WARNING: One or more of your MX records did not return an A record; most
likely, they have a CNAME. CNAMEs are prohibited in MX records, according
to RFC974, RFC1034 3.6.2, RFC1912 2.4, and RFC2181 10.3. The problem MX
records are:
mail.nsa-clanpage.com.->nsa-clanpage.com.->195.143.162.26

I find that the cleanest setup is to always use the server name for the MX
record, then postmaster, abuse, host name greeting, pointer  and all is
correct.
