for a start, grab some "bind" package and type in a console "dig @yourispdns mx yourdomainname"

Post the result.

Hey, you don't have the "dig" command by default in gentoo.
Try emerge -s bind and install some bind package.
After that you'll have that "dig" command.

Now I need to know the error... for example if you're sending an email from yahoo.com to your gentoo box, is there any error? If it is, please copy/paste it.
