Thanks for the thoughts. Problem is that the mail server is
wwwserver.apratech.org. When I try to add a DNS entry at
wwwserver.apratech.org it complains about the alias (NT). Does the MX record
need to be at unibex.com DNS site, or can this be accomplished here locally?

rule: MX records must point FQHN, fully qualified hostname, not CNAMEs.
So what you've done here:
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> buyreman.com mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; buyreman.com, type = MX, class = IN
;; ANSWER SECTION:
buyreman.com. 41m39s IN CNAME web-bal2.unibex.com.
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
unibex.com. 1H IN SOA ns1.trident.net. tech.trident.net. (
102 ; serial
1H ; refresh
10M ; retry
1D ; expiry
1H ) ; minimum
is not correct. There is no explicit MX record for buyreman.com, just a
CNAME.
just put
buyreman.com. IN MX web-bal2.unibex.com.
assuming web-bal2.unibex.com. is a mail server.
