The purpose of CNAME records is to make aliases of hosts,
which means you *are not* allowed to use the domainname
on either side of the CNAME. write a valid hostname
and try again.

if you want to test your dns, then use nslookup and type:

set q=mx
bitmap.com.

work on your DNS files until it gives back the right answer
