It isn't really the mx record that it is looking for. It is just verifying
that the e-mail is coming from a known machine. So the receiving machine
will do a dns lookup and see if there is an entry. The MX entry is used for
machines that are trying to determine which machine is responsible for your
domain's mail when sending.

Thanks Larry. I have added an entry for genesis.organic-earth.com to the MX
entry for this URL. Hopefully that will resolve the matter.
MX records being what they are, I probably won't know if it worked until I
get
home from work tomorrow.
