When you said "CNAME" there it set off alarm bells. An MX record is not
allowed to point at a CNAME.

mike@haven:~$ host -t mx kerstin.com
kerstin.com             MX      0 mail.kerstin.com
mike@haven:~$


However... Looking at "mail.kerstin.com", it appears to be an A record,
not a CNAME, which is fine...
