For mail delivery, an 'A' record alone is not sufficient.
You need to add an MX record. Once you do that and the DNS gets
refreshed, from some box do
"dig your.domain.name -t mx" [1]
The results of the dig command will have multiple sections. See if the
"ANSWER SECTION" has any hostname for the MX record. You should see
something like this.
my.domain. 86400 IN MX 10 mail.my.domain.
If you get that, it just means that your DNS settings are OK and you
should be able to receive mails now if your other settings(postfix an
dovecot) are correct. If you still don't get emails. Run
tshark/tcpdump on the mail server, send a mail from some provider(like
gmail/yahoo mail etc.) and see if you see any traffic. Share the
results if you have problems analysing them. Thanks
[1] You may have to install dns-utils in debian based distros if you
do not have the dig command.
