They don't have any advertised mail servers. When you ask their
nameservers for MX records, you get this:
% dig potomacalliance.us. mx
; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> potomacalliance.us. mx
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

Repeat this process, asking their advertised nameservers
directly, and you get the same answer. See also
<http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=potomacalliance.us>.
Note that eng.auburn.edu is one of the advertised nameservers for
this zone. You might want to see if you can get this problem fixed.
