Well, it looks like your ISP can get the job done, but you have to be VERY
specific as to what you want.
They did add an MX record for eyesondenver.com that points to
mail.eyesondenver.com. So technically, yes, they did add an MX
record. But, they don't have an A record for mail.eyesondenver.com. So
although mail servers will know to go to mail.eyesondenver.com, they won't
know where mail.eyesondenver.com is.
>Sorry to be so DNS stupid, but does my server's name have to be "mail"?
No, that's just tradition, like "www." for web sites. No Internet
protocols (that I know of at least) require a specific host name.
