I am not afraid, this is correct

>Levenfeld.com has MX record that points to mail.levenfeld.com

nope:

# dig levenfeld.com mx

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> levenfeld.com mx ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; levenfeld.com, type = MX, class = IN

>I personally set it up since I am the domain owner.

Internet can't see it:

# dig @DNS22.REGISTER.COM levenfeld.com mx

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @DNS22.REGISTER.COM levenfeld.com mx ; (1 server found) ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; levenfeld.com, type = MX, class = IN

>I just double-checked it

so did I, double-check your double-checking

>through my registration point (www.register.com) and high priority MX points >to mail.levenfeld.com

nope

when there is no MX record, the sending MTA tries the A record, and your A is answering:

# telnet 209.187.140.237 25 Trying 209.187.140.237... Connected to ip-140-237.gw.total-web.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 gt.levenfeld.com WebShield SMTP V4.5 Network Associates, Inc.
