Are you talking about forwarding your whole domain or just your single
e-mail address?

In case of domain -- you can always point your MX records anywhere you
want, but... First of all, MLUG has to be able to understand mail
destined for mysillydomain.com and process it accordingly. Then, you'd
have to set up user aliases on MLUG to match all mail users from
mysillydomain.com and forward them to your account. 

In case of one address -- MX records don't have anything to do with it.
Sendmail does.

But I only read "DNS and bind" once. So don't get too excited... ;-)
