	If the message is being generated by your external nameserver
	remove the offending MX record.
	If it is being generated by your internal nameserver add an A
	record for nt01.wejit.com.

	The resolver on ns1.wejit.com should be pointing to the internal
	server so that the MTA can see both MX records (and corresponding
	A records).
