Why would including the domain name cause it to skip over the routing rule?

If your "main domain name" is "greenbuilder.com," this will happen. What you need to do is give your computer its own subdomain name; for example, my main domain is "harthaven.com," but my server has the subdomain assignment "castor.harthaven.com". The last line of my router is:

harthaven.com = castor.harthaven.com

This way, I get to treat harthaven.com consistently with all the other
domains that I host.  If I didn't do this - and this is what I think you're
running into - my "main domain name" is stripped from any addresses that
go to the router before the first pass of the router.  This would result
in the kind of problem you're seeing.

In your DNS, put A records for both greenbuilder.com and x.greenbuilder.com,
and (for documentation) point your MX records at the new name.  Then make
this change to your router, and the inconsistency problems should go away
within a day or so as the information propagates.

Aha. That makes sense. Thanks. Will give it a go.
