The choiceone.net nameservers resolve the cswgraphics.com MX record to mail.cswgraphics.com
and smtp.choiceonemail.net. Since cswgraphics.com is delegated *only* to choiceone.net
nameservers, how did you expect anyone to find the MX records you're publishing from
mortise.cswgraphics.com? Looks like someone needs to update their delegation records...
