2 of the sites have two CNAME records, 1 has 3 CNAME records....1 points to
the community, 1 to the mail, and 1 to the search. They have only been up
for a month or so.....Most of my CNAME records point to everyone.net. Then I
have the MX record for all the mail pointing to sitemail.everyone.net.

Everyone.net handles all the domain.com mail. I also accept mail for
my.domain.com locally (I forward some of the reserved everyone.net mail to
MY mail server so admin could pop into it). The only time that the CNAME
would NOT work on my RAQ3 was when...
     I had a mail.domain.com CNAME domain.com
     and then MX record using the mail.domain.com

     Once I changed mail.domain.com to an A record, that worked. But
everyone.net is a different situation.
