Looks like your nameservers are not configured to direct mail to you
If everything works, you should get FOUR copies of this. 
--NO, sorry. [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients 
was rejected by the server.  Server Response: 
"571 Unable to determine MX host for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

(You should also get some good advice from some people who actually know 
something. Me, I'm involved because I'm trying to LEARN something)
(Microsoft's idea of user-friendly EXCLUDES cut&paste from error-message 
dialog boxes. IE helpful only as long as you don't really need help;)

-bash-3.00$ host -t MX skyblue.mine.nu
-bash-3.00$ host skyblue.mine.nu
skyblue.mine.nu has address 24.0.102.157

-bash-3.00$ host server.skyblue.mine.nu
server.skyblue.mine.nu is an alias for skyblue.mine.nu.
skyblue.mine.nu has address 24.0.102.157
server.skyblue.mine.nu is an alias for skyblue.mine.nu.
server.skyblue.mine.nu is an alias for skyblue.mine.nu.
-bash-3.00$ host -t MX server.skyblue.mine.nu
server.skyblue.mine.nu is an alias for skyblue.mine.nu.
