ok, so if there's a CNAME record for foo pointing to bar, then
there can't also be an MX record for foo.

My interpretation of the initial problem was "if MX record foo points
to bar, can bar be a CNAME"?  I had problems back in 94 or so when I
had an MX record point to another MX record, but MX records pointing
to CNAME's should be fine AFAICT

I guess I misunderstood the original problem then, right?
