Question DNS error resolving MX...

I've seen quite a few posts about the MX error. In each case I've seen it seemed like folks didn't have the proper A/MX records in their internal DNS configured.

I'm far from an expert in DNS or Linux, but I think I have things setup properly.

nslookup with 'set q=mx' and fed 'foostuff.com' returns the following.
Code:
> foostuff.com
Server:         192.168.0.254
Address:        192.168.0.254#53

foostuff.com   mail exchanger = 10 zimbra.foostuff.com.
However, I still get the following error when running the install.sh script.
Code:
DNS ERROR resolving MX for zimbra.foostuff.com
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
Change domain name? [Yes]
If I continue the installation the services start properly. I'm not sure if it's a false-positive. I've not tried to configure things much yet thinking that I should resolve the installation error before getting too deep into configuration.

Code:
root@zimbra:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.10    zimbra.foostuff.com    zimbra
Code:
> zimbra.foostuff.com
Server:         192.168.0.254
Address:        192.168.0.254#53

Name:   zimbra.foostuff.com
Address: 192.168.0.10
Oh yea, Latest version of OpenSource Zimbra on Ubuntu 6.06.1-server.

Any thoughts?
