I noticed this a while back when I was looking at your DNS records
regarding your email delivery. I figured you knew about it and were ok with
it. As you noted, this is happening because of hosting your email and web
services in different places. This is the reason MX records were created:
so that you can have send mail traffic to a different place than web
traffic.

If you want to fix this, you will just have to set up your DNS as I've been
describing all along:

Create an A record for mail.appl-ecosys.com pointing to 50.38.87.100 (or
however this is dynamically updated currently).

Create an MX record for @ appl-ecosys.com pointing to mail.appl-ecosys.com

Change the A record for apple-ecosys.com from 50.38.87.100 (or stop the
dynamic updates) to 216.99.193.149.

Theoretically, it "should work" and if it doesn't, a quick call to
spiritone / aracnet should fix it at that point.

The above describes the full "correct" fix. If you want a quick-fix
workaround sort of thing, you can configure apache on your local home
server to redirect traffic to appl-ecosys.com to www.appl-ecosys.com and
then you won't have to change any DNS records at all.
