Thanks Thomas, you are exactly correct on the domain name! the mx record does exsit, but the box is talking to itself and can't find the email user.
No dns or email is run on the bq boxes, but I can't get email out of them to my domain s1i.net, s(one)i.net.
Should be a forward or something I can put in the box to solve this?
