Watch your dots here. Also, valleynet.on.ca is your origin right? You
shouldn't have your origin be an alias for something else. I think what
you want is:
@ [soa stuff]
IN A 204.40.198.3
MX 10 valley1
valley1 IN A 204.40.198.3
valley2 IN A 204.40.198.4
The reason valley1 is not a CNAME is that MX records should only point to
something with an A record.

This is because the fqdn of valleynet.on.ca is valley1.valleynet.on.ca
(using your dns records above). Make valleynet.on.ca a real address, and
everything should work.
