problems receiving e-mail to my server redux

[Will Mc Donald]

It looks to me like your DNS config for the mccorduck.ws domain's incorrectly configured. There's no SOA for the domain and there's no MX record either. MX records are responsible for routing email for domains.

I notice your DNS is hosted by dns.ws, have you read through their documentation on configuring DNS for your domain?
