add MX records??

You need mx records becuse mailservers like sendmail use them to determine where to send email for a domain.

If you don't have an MX record, then many (but not all) mailservers will be able to deliver mail to <domain.com> IF and only IF, there's a mailserver running at <domain.com>.
