I think it *may* be that the OP doesn't realise he can/should change
the MX record.  If you have a domain hosted at your average hosting
service the A record gets to point at whatever you need (home system,
virtual host, whatever) but the MX record is left pointing at the
hosting company's mail servers.  It's quite a rarity in the general
run of things that the MX record gets changed.
