Harris,
We are only serving mail in-house, our website is hosted externally. DNS is
running in our internal server. Our internal domain is mfc.com because
that's the way some consultant set it up many years ago, but our website and
email addresses are marlinfirearms.com so I don't think we are the start of
authority DNS server, although I don't really know. I changed our SMTP
settings to use the external DNS of our ISP while waiting for replies and
the email that was being bounced went through. Should I leave it alone or
should I try to figure out why the DNS that is running internally couldn't
find the domains that it was bouncing.
As far as the errors, usually it was a 553 or 550, cannot relay for host,
sorry domain not found type errors.

You should be using your DNS. Also, all other DNS servers should get there
information from your DNS if you are the Start of Authority DNS server for
your domain.
Are you hosting with someone else, but running your own mail?
Or are all your services such as DNS. Web and mail in-house?
In addition, please let us know excatly what the error messages are saying
so we can better help you.
