Per Vince, The solution to my problem was twofold. I didn't understand completely how DNS worked and once I did and removed the local DNS records from the DNS server and let the server resolve the records from thee internet where they are hosted everything was fine and I was able to send mail back and forth on my network.
Vince made a great reccomendation on a DNS book. If you need to know the innerworkings of DNS this is the book for you.
