With a DNS CNAME you cant have *any* other type of information
associated. Period, despite some broken (MSgrumble) implementations that
allow things like an MX and a CNAME to exist, it just doesn't work. :)
Use an A line pointing to the other host in addition to the MX. That
should solve you hairball.
