DNS problem with email

[drmeg]

I think I have a DNS problem with my emails.

I host several sites with ispconfig 2.2.18 on ubuntu 6.06 LTS using the perfect setup instructions.

All my hosted websites seem to work properly and are accessible from the web. All my hosted users can send email to anyone on the web, but can only receive email from each other.

When I DIG the MX record I get the following:

root@ws1:~# dig cslive.net mx

; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> cslive.net mx
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 63686
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:

I think I am missing an A-record for the mail, right?
Can I fix this with ispconfig, or do I have to edit my named.conf manually?

I,

You have to create a A record like this ex:
mail A 71.41.166.18

On the MX record you have to altered for ex:
mail.cslive.net

Did you understand?

Do a DIG on liz-online.pt and you will figured out.

You could add me to gtalk in m2source@gmail.com, or leave an e-mail if you need any help.

Thanks for the help.
I added the A-record and now the DIG looks like this:

root@ws1:/# dig cslive.net mx

; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> cslive.net mx
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

It looks like it should be working, but it still is not.
Messages are still not being received from other servers .

Any ideas?
