I've got a web server that sometimes sends out mail. Because of the configuration of my ISP, all servers inside my building will not resolve by external IP address so I had to set up a DNS server to resolve the servers that are internal (such as intranet.foo.com, mail.foo.com, and
www.foo.com)
The problem is that my web server is sending the mail but it's not getting there. The mail ends up staying local and this what I get:
<viniosity@foo.com>: Name service error for foo.com: Host found but no data
record of requested type

This is test mail

Here is the zone file for foo.com on the eco.com server:
;

news CNAME dns
;
mail A 192.168.1.8
www A 192.168.1.14
intranet A 192.168.1.237
;
mail.foo.com does resolve to 192.168.1.8 but as detailed above I get an error saying host found but no data record of requested type. Am I missing something in my zone file? Else, maybe something is wrong with the IN MX 10 dns.mail.foo.com line? Help!
TIA,
