Yes, you are reading me correctly. The post before yours had some great suggestions too, I just haven't had a chance to work on it or try what was suggested. They also mentioned something about the MX record.
Not trying to be an idiot, but what is the MX record, where would I get it or find out, and where do I put it in my DNS settings? I have done nothing with MX, heck, I don't even know what it is. This sounds promising and you described my network just like it is setup, but I'm not sure where to start exactly with this.
Thanks!
