In my network I have a corporate mail server set up that handles all the email for mlsnet.com
I have setup the RedHat box so I can send out email to newsletter subscribers - I didn't want to put the heavy load on my corporate mail server.
The RedHat box has sendmail on it and should be the box that handles emails for lists.mlsnet.com (incoming should be delivered to this box) Also the IP for this box is the 12.105.18.209 address referenced below.
I have an A record setup for lists.mlsnet.com - I do not have an MX record setup for it though.
How do I set the box up so it handles all email sent to @lists.mlsnet.com?
Thanks for your help..

From the last error there, it looks like your mail server is trying to
deliver mail for lists.mlsnet.com to an smtp server at 12.105.18.209.
I don't know what server that is, but it needs to be running an some
sort of smtp server to accept email. If that is not where the email
should be going, then an MX record may be appropriate to point it to
the appropriate location.

In general, an MX record is not necessary if you have an A record.
That's probably not your problem here.
Are you sure sendmail is running on the list server? Can you connect
to port 25 on it? Is it properly configured to accept mail?

In DNS you would have something like: lists.mlsnet.com. A 216.216.23.43 MX 10 lists.mlsnet.com MX 100 mail.mlsnet.com
In this scenario all mail to user@lists.mlsnet.com will be delivered to lists.mlsnet.com. If that server does not respond then the mail will be queued up on your main mail server: mail.mlsnet.com
This assumes that you can setup the other mail server to act as a secondary. If not, then just leave it off.
And "yes" virginia, you *do* need an MX record. If you don't have an MX record then any mail to lists.mlsnet.com will be dumped out to your main mail server (using your domains MX record). You could setup some internal routes on that server to shuffle mail over to lists.mlsnet.com, but that would be counter to your stated intention of moving the load away from the main mail server.

If there's an 'A' record for lists.mlsnet.com, and this is the host they want mail for lists.mlsnet.com to be delivered to, there is no need for an MX record. It's good practice to have one, but it's absolutely not required.
And if you're trying to say that (if an MX record for lists.mlsnet.com is absent) mail for lists.mlsnet.com will be delivered to the machine that's the MX record for mlsnet.com itself, you are completely, 100% wrong.
