We have a winner! Thanks a MILLION! I've been going in circles with
this idiocy for *days*! I am surprised though that the CNAME approach
is not RFC-compliant (I initially thought it was, until I was corrected by
FBSD [regrading my pr on named-xfer], yet this is! Of course, as long
as it works, we're happy!
Thanks again!

THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT STANDARDS IS
THAT THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

Set this in your zone-file for mfn.org:
; for mailers ignoring MX-records
in a 204.238.179.3
just after the MX-specification.
