you did this. Remove this entry. Adding a Cw entry means that you say that
the domain is local to you and you handle mail for it. Obviously, your linux

yahoo.com preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx5.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 4, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 3, mail exchanger = mx3.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 2, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 6, mail exchanger = mx6.mail.yahoo.com
