Then I ran it on your Suspect domain and the only main error it
complained about was that there was only one MX record. So I hope this
gives you enough information to help figure out what is wrong.

PS. When I did a DIG of your primary you had more that one A record for
a given host. If you want a Host to have more than one name use a CNAME
record for it. Just my 2 cents worth.
