I'm reasonably positive that this isn't a DNS issue. I've seen it discussed 
here before and someone posted a link to the solution (which I didn't save 
because I wasn't experiencing the problem at the time, and now am unable to 
find). The client is NOT trying to send mail through the box, he is sending 
mail from his swt.edu account TO his domain on the box.

Just in case it is a DNS issue, here's my zone file:

@       IN      SOA     ns.realtime.net.        hostmaster.realtime.net. (
                                2000110901      ; Serial number (change me!)
                                21600           ; Refresh every 6 hours
                                3600            ; Retry every hour
                                604800          ; Expire zone after 2 weeks
                                21600 )         ; Cache for minimum 6 hours
                IN      NS      ns.realtime.net.
                IN      NS      ns2.realtime.net.
