Next, make sure you have you are MX'd at a HIGHER level then the real mail server: mn-linux.org. IN MX 5 mail.mn-linux.org. IN MX 10 mail.real-time.com. IN MX 15 mail1.real-time.com. IN MX 20 mail2.real-time.com. Make sure local-host-names does NOT have the domain listed in it. Otherwise your mail server will accept and attempt to deliver the email, instead of MX holding it.
