It turns out that when the query is made for MX records, your DNS server 
returns an answer count of 1.  That's why the DNS report is getting 
confused.  The one answer is the CNAME, rather than an MX record.

There's a new version up that will handle this a bit more gracefully.  It 
will show the CNAME in the "INFO" section, report a warning, and explain 
that further information may not be valid.

I'm not even sure whether or not a CNAME is valid to return for an MX 
record (I think it is, but don't know for sure), and whether or not an A 
record should be returned for the CNAME.

<G>  Not anymore!  Thanks for pointing that out.
