OK here's some trouble. The MX record for extensioncables.com points to mail.extensioncables.com which is a CNAME for extensioncables.com which resolves to 63.97.145.95. It is illegal according to RFC to point an MX record to a CNAME
the same thing goes for the hosenose.com domain with the CNAME. Also hosenose.com needs to resolve its mail IP to the same as extensioncables.com or it cannot be a host alias. This is not the case. Once all this is set up correctly it will work.
