If you had set this up via the gui you most likely would not have the 
problem.  You also would not have the problem if you had created the mx to 
be for huntingleaseonline.com instead of www.huntingleaseonline.com as it 
would be included.  Just change your mx record and drop the www.

That is why when set up in the GUI

host:           www
domain: domain.com
alias           domain.com
email alias     www.domain.com

This would handle both domain.com and www.domain.com for both web and 
mail.  The normal mx record would be for the domain not including the 
host.  domain.com mx domain.com
