inloc.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = mail.inloc.com
inloc.com nameserver = ns.inloc.com
inloc.com nameserver = ns2.inloc.com
mail.inloc.com internet address = 209.10.167.158
ns.inloc.com internet address = 209.10.167.158
ns2.inloc.com internet address = 209.10.167.159
That's your mx record in dns to the world. mail.inloc.com
I recommend you don't run config-fast inloc.com, instead
use the machines full hostname, like.. config-fast mail.inloc.com
then add inloc.com as a virtual domain with vadddomain inloc.com
