when I try to send email from another client on the internal network via the courier machine I get the 517 - Bad Domain MX record, please shoot your admin error.
Reading the archive (via google), FAQ and 3.3.9 of RFC1035 doc the short term solution is to add mydomain.us: [my.external.ip.here] to /etc/courier/esmtproutes and the long term solution is to change my MX0 record from my.ip.here.200 to mydomain.us. I also tried the IP in /etc/courier/esmtproutes with and with out brackets and also tried my internal IP in that file. Everything is hosted on the same IP - I don't have a seperate IP for mail and other services. Is this correct? I made the /etc/courier/esmtproutes file and made the change to my MX record - the error persists. If I made the correct change in my DNS file, should this resolve it self in a few days *crosses fingers* when the change filteres through the net? Here is my log...

Thanks in advance, setting up a real mail server from source has been challenge and an excellent learning experience! Thanks for everyone's patience!
