Also note: you were testing with an IP address other than the one which mail
dot appl-ecosys dot com resolved to:

traceroute to mail dot appl-ecosys dot com (50.38.88.85)
...
traceroute to 216.99.193.149 (216.99.193.149)

$ host mail dot appl-ecosys dot com
mail dot appl-ecosys dot com    A       50.109.244.181

216.99.193.149 appears to be the IP of your web server, found under appl-ecosys
dot com (sans mail dot).

(I don't know why we're obfuscating the hostname but I just went with it.)
