I believe you work at cornerstone, not conerstone :).

$ host cornerstonehome.com
cornerstonehome.com has address 12.37.8.70
cornerstonehome.com mail is handled by 10 server92.appriver.com.
cornerstonehome.com mail is handled by 20 server93.appriver.com.
$ host mail.cornerstonehome.com
mail.cornerstonehome.com has address 66.193.205.166
$ telnet mail.cornerstonehome.com 25
Trying 66.193.205.166...

ciao,
