It would help much more if you actually gave us the domain that you are
talking about, so that we could do our own reverse lookups and try to help
you.
A name would be nice, too.  :)

I am not sure of the procedure on a Qube, but I seriously doubt it needs
professional services. If you do a search through the archives you'll find
*many* emails dealing with this very issue, both on RaQs and Qubes.

My (RaQ experienced, not Qube experienced) suggestion is to make an MX
record with no hostname, pointing to the mail server *with* the hostname.
Example:
yourXXXdomain.com --> www.yourXXXdomain.com

I had the same problems on my RaQ and this is how I solved it.
