note that your screwed up zones are not necessarily the pb with your
mail delivery. MX answers are still passed out, just without authority:
# dig alumni.union.edu mx
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> alumni.union.edu mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 5
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; alumni.union.edu, type = MX, class = IN
;; ANSWER SECTION:
alumni.union.edu. 1d4h16m38s IN MX 10 mail.alumni.union.edu.
alumni.union.edu. 1d4h16m38s IN MX 20 mail2.iaccorp.com.
and your adding mail to the Imail alias is no help because there's no
MX for mail.alumni.union.edu :
# dig mail.alumni.union.edu mx
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> Mail.alumni.union.edu mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; Mail.alumni.union.edu, type = MX, class = IN
and the reverse isn't setup for your mail ip:
# dig -x 198.88.9.84
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> -x
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; 84.9.88.198.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

also, your version of bind has an recent exploit, you should up to P7
or 8.2.3 T6B:
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @ELIPHALET.union.EDU txt chaos version.bind.
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

;; QUERY SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
