The problem is at your end, with UCX (rather than MX).  This is a FAQ:

|        I believe you've bumped into a known problem with UCX.  The
|documentation suggests that the hosts file be set up with alias first and
|then the FQDN.  You need to set up the hosts file so that the FQDN is
|first, followed by any aliases.
