Hi Jim,

I think you lost me a couple of times.

This makes no sense to me.

Did you mean
  www             IN CNAME domain.com.
?

I would have set up the router/firewall to redirect all inbound traffic for
216.132.25.11:25 to 216.132.25.7:25 since I understood a problem to be mail
addressed to user at domain.com going to 216.132.25.11 rather than 216.132.25.7
as specified in the MX record.

Corrections gratefully accepted, I'm heading for my first cup of coffee.
