I'm in my godaddy account and looking at the domain records.
I have an A record for remote.allanhancockagency.
Its first A record(just A) is pointing to godaddy's parked server(we don't have a website for this name)
It also has an MX @ remote.allanhancockagency.
Is the problem having the first A record pointing to godaddy servers?

Solved it myself.
The main A record pointing to godaddy servers was wrong.
It should have pointed to my static ip. Same as the remote
