MX points to a cname

Hello, I need to know where to go to correct this, three of my domain's MX records are pointing to a cname.

WARN MX records are not CNAMEs WARNING: When I looked up your MX record, your DNS server returned a CNAME. This is an unusual situation, and I can't handle it -- the following MX tests may not work properly. The problem is:
mail.crazycomputing.net.->crazycomputing.net.

FAIL MX A lookups have no CNAMEs WARNING: One or more of your MX records points to a CNAME. CNAMEs are prohibited in MX records, according to RFC974, RFC1034 3.6.2, RFC1912 2.4, and RFC2181 10.3. The problem MX record(s) are:
mail.crazycomputing.net.->crazycomputing.net.->72.29.75.115

I bought my domains from Surpass and everything is stored on Pixel.

I have the domains pointing to ns740.dizinc.com and ns741.dizinc.com and cpanel is doing the rest. If someone could point me to where I need to make the changes and tell me what to do to correct it would be appreciated.
