You have no MX record and no A record for the domain itself...
you need at least one of these ;)

[like the error said, MX problem ;]

Also you have ns1 listing an alias of itself as the nameserver for
itself...(is this the raq2?)

(which is probably harmless, but ns2 is lame atm, probably cause it's not
a listed nameserver for the domain the nameservers are in....

gsh

hmm, was i the silly person that just told someone dns wasn't all that
hard? lol
