And indeed it cannot. For starters. you have a reverse DNS lookup problem;
aharris.eboundhost.com resolves to 65.209.155.218, but the reverse DNS
lookup of 65.209.155.218 fails: "can't find 65.209.155.218: Non-existent
domain". Then, when you do a "nslookup -query=mx aharris.eboundhost.com", it
turns out you have no mail exchanger defined either: "*** No mail exchanger
(MX) records available for aharris.eboundhost.com". Your ANAME (not the
CNAME) does have a mail exchanger defined, though: "eboundhost.com
preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.eboundhost.com".
Back to the drawing board. :) And you're right: this really is not a
sendmail list; sendmail only speaks SMTP, not POP.
