MX record question ...

I have one more question to ask ... having a bit of "fun" with the MX
records here. I'm getting the error message:
sendmail[17433]: PAA17433: SYSERR(root): MX list for sys2.domain.ca points
back to sys1.domain.ca
Sys2 is our majordomo server and sys1 is our email server. In the zone
file I have the following:
domain.ca. IN MX 10 sys1.domain.ca.
*.domain.ca. IN MX 10 sys1.domain.ca.
And also in order to keep web surfers happy because they can't seem to
remember to enter www.domain.ca but only domain.ca I have:
domain.ca. IN A 999.999.50.1
This is in addition to the regular A records:
www.domain.ca. IN A 999.999.50.1
sys1.domain.ca. IN A 999.999.100.1
sys2.domain.ca. IN A 999.999.100.2
These are the only records I think are relevant, but I don't see how or why
the error is coming out. Can someone perhaps explain the error message in
a bit of detail and then perhaps I can determine the cause(s).
Thanks.
