Thanks for the reply, Tom... I'm tardy in replying because I had fouled up my DNS, making some of the very mistakes you mentioned.
With a lot of off-list help from Ben Koshy and feedback about my changes from DNSReport.com, I was able to get things properly configured... for my email at least. Still no solution (as far as I know) for my client who can't access any sites on my server. Let's hope somehow the changes I made will enable them to access them tomorrow. They've been without their online business app for 3 business days now... not good...
