Mark,
Thanks for the post. Here is the error:
Jan 31 10:59:42 procyon named[448]: pdx-lists.pmc-sierra.com has CNAME
and other data (invalid)
Jan 31 10:59:42 procyon named[448]: db.pmccom:54:
pdx-lists.pmc-sierra.com: CNAME and OTHER data error
db.pmccom is as follows:
$TTL 86400

pdx-info IN MX 10 procyon.pmc-sierra.bc.ca.
pdx-info IN A 134.87.165.160
pdx-lists IN CNAME pdx-info
Is the problem that you can't have an MX for a CNAME?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Cheers,
