I NEED help with MX Records...Please
(OP)
First of all, I am confused about the MX records.
I have a small network with exchange server called Huron2
Here is the zone record
huronenviro.com. IN MX 10 huron2.huronenviro.com.
www.huronenviro.com. IN MX 20 huron2.huronenviro.com.
huron2.huronenviro.com. IN A 192.168.1.250
I tried to have mail.huronenviro.com as the A record, but that didn't work.
Also, should the A record point to the internal IP address?
Please help me with this one

If you want Internet mail server then it should point to the external address.
Instead of an A record for mail, use a CNAME and keep the huron2 A record:
mail IN CNAME huron2
