Hi all, combined comments here to your responses.

DNS is set up properly.  The actual domain is mail.cost-less.com and
dnsreports.com (and the rdns test at dnsstuff.com) all show what they're
supposed to.  Its been going on 2 weeks now that the change was made so
we're well past any propagation issues.

They are not blocking port 25.  I can force the mail thru to the proper
server by using a numeric IP instead of the client's virtual domain
name.  

They have supposedly removed the domain from their dns.  Or at least
they say they have.  The web server has rolled over just fine.  And get
this: if you ping the mail server while on their dsl network (i.e. "ping
mail.cost-less.com") the proper, new IP comes up, just as it does off a
'foreign' connection on another network.  That one surprised me.

Scott's surmise about the mail domain still being in their mail server
makes sense, but given the above I don't see how we're touching that
mail server in the first place.

With this morning's on-site meeting I managed to get an email address to
their mail server admin, who deigned to accept mail headers from me.  I
hope that means this guy is smart enough not to tell me to flush my
browser cache.
