Ok, I got everything on my server set up except pop3. When I try to email my self (from a different server of course), I get an email back saying there was a config error. Here is the session transcript:

553 5.3.5 silicon-palace.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 <bakemono@silicon-palace.com>... Local configuration error
550 5.1.1 postmaster... User unknown

also, in /var/log/syslog, it said something about savemail not being able to save the rejected mail anywhere

This is not pop3 related problem...i assume you are using sendmail,if so make sure the user has an alias in /etc/mail/aliases.Did you define the domain name in sendmail.cf?
Sendmail needs it to function properly.Hope this helps.
