Here is what I got from a zone transfer:

; from 206.242.132.240 at 10:16:23
$ORIGIN com.
chaseglobalservices IN SOA hpdns1.hipower.net. (

mail.chaseglobalservices.com. IN CNAME chaseglobalservices.com.
www.chaseglobalservices.com. IN CNAME chaseglobalservices.com.
;** Received 7 records for chaseglobalservices.com from 206.242.132.240
Right now you have an MX record pointing to a CNAME which is illegal. Have
them get rid of the CNAME and use an "A" record for
mail.chaseglobalservices.com of 206.242.133.140. you will also need a PTR
record for any reverse lookups that might happen.
