Results from a host query on cbrichardellis.com:

igc4[~support3]-1085> host cbrichardellis.com
cbrichardellis.com mail is handled (pri=1) by smtp.cbrichardellis.com
cbrichardellis.com mail is handled (pri=2) by smtp1.cbrichardellis.com

These look legitimate.

To ensure that, here is a nameserver query on
smtp1.cbrichardellis.com:

igc4[~support3]-1088> nslookup smtp1.cbrichardellis.com
Server: igce.igc.org
Address: 192.82.108.49

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp1.cbrichardellis.com
Address: 208.167.0.99 <--------This matches the IP address in the
headers.

These results indicate the true origin of the message to
be non-contradicting with the From: entry.

As a footnote:

@xng-houstongal.intra.cbcommercial.com>

Whenever you see a city listed within a subdomain name,
it usually would indicate as the actual physical location.
In this case, the Houston/Galveston area, also proving to be
non-contradictory.
