Don't give up yet... it's a typo in the hostname entry for the MX record in the
zone file.

See this (look at the mail exchanger):

lakeimmunogenics.com    preference = 5, mail exchanger =mail.lakeimmunigenics.com
lakeimmunogenics.com    nameserver = ns1.badger1.net
lakeimmunogenics.com    nameserver = ns2.badger1.net
ns1.badger1.net internet address = 207.113.50.5
ns2.badger1.net internet address = 207.113.50.13
