Nope, "mail.swishmail.com" cannot be a CNAME if you want to point your MX
record at it.  It's forbidden.

And please don't post BIND zonefiles to Dan's lists -- they're meaningless to
anyone who doesn't do BINDthink.  Instead, tell us what's happening
("mail.foo.net is an MX record which points to mail.bar.org with distance 10,
which has an A record of 10.20.30.40").  That at least means something to
everyone who understands a little about DNS.
