Nope, they're wrong. It's fine to have an MX record for both mail.servername.com and
servername.com. But, if you don't have an MX record for servername.com, you can't
expect to get mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If there is an A record, a mail
server might send to it. But without an MX record, you're letting the remote mail
server decide whether or not you deserve to get mail.
If you're talking about the domain affiniscape.com, your problem is that your MX
record points to a CNAME, which won't work with many mail servers (one RFC says it is
illegal to point to a CNAME, although I think I recall that another one makes it legal
-- either way, many mail servers will choke on that).
