yes, that works. Says
Connected to MAIL.THECOMPANY.COM (XX.XXX.XX.XXX).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

figuring out that is beyond my expertise. I have no idea. Somethings getting "eaten", somewhere along the line.

The MX records are the same. Same ip for mail.thecompany.com, pointing to the exchange server they have at the office.
I tried deleting the record for thecompany.com from the dns at the SHARK server, since i figured it wasn't needed. It didn't seem to make any difference.
