I think that you are not supposed to use CNAME's for MX records Your mail.hartwellcorp.com should point to the IP with an A record. CNAME's are ok for non MX hosts. Your mail is trying to go to [and is refused by] ftp.hartwellcorp.com instead of mail.hartwellcorp.com Is this correct? See below for some stuff I did to check things out.
