Perfect Setup Suse 10 can send but not receive mail

It's been 26hrs since I Made the change +-

 

server1.webpapagedirect.co.za still doesn't exist in DNS:

Code:

dig server1.webpapagedirect.co.za

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> server1.webpapagedirect.co.za
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 11690

totally lost

Should I

A: wait for the full 72 hours before I do anything
B: somehow change server1.webpagedirect.co.za to
www.webpagedirect.co.za on the server itself
C: change my settings at my registrar that would be the authoritive NS "coza"
from www.webpagedirect.co.za to server1.webpagedirect.co.za

I'm lost, but optimistic.

if I dig mx webpagedirect.co.za
I get

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> mx webpagedirect.co.za
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 44344

Is this atleast a step in the right way?

 

That's ok, and now you must create an A record for server1.webpagedirect.co.za on ns0.coza.net.za (that's the authoritative name server for your domain).

 

This is done on zoneedit

The guys at coza say that I should do this at zoneedit, which Ive done as below In the IP-address A-record section on zoneedit

IP Addresses
Name Numeric IP
webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203
ftp.webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203
pop3.webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203
server1.webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203
smtp.webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203
www.webpagedirect.co.za 196.33.247.203

 

It's working now:

Code:

dig server1.webpagedirect.co.za

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> server1.webpagedirect.co.za
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 60000

Thanks Falko I, But I still have the same error

 

Q> what should be setup in server settings DNS?

or what was put in there by default nl www.webpagedirect.co.za at NS1 &NS2
