I am not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish with this - but it won't work the way you want it to. Your DNS records show have a CNAME record for horton. RFC1123 says that such host names must not be used in email addresses. In support of this, many mailers will rewrite first-last@horton.jpl.nasa.gov as first-last@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov and this would seem to defeat what you are trying to do.
