dns trouble with cname and mx

[garwain]

I have just received a static IP for my server and have moved the domain onto it, but for some reason emails are not being delivered to my server if sent from an a remote machine. I can send messages from one user to another no problem and I can sent outgoing mail. Also I can't seem to reach my server using the alias

http://www.my-domain.com

Following is my records file. the domain name and IP have been changed, but the structure is identical.

------------------------------------
$ttl 2M
my-domain.com.	IN	SOA	my-domain.com. bmartin.my-domain.com. (
			1016980488
			2M
			2M
			2M
			2M )
my-domain.com.	IN	NS	XX.XX.XXX.XX.
my-domain.com.	IN	MX	50 web-domain.com
ns1.my-domain.com.	2M	IN	A	XX.XX.XXX.XX
[URL unfurl="true"]www.my-domain.com.[/URL]	2M	IN	CNAME	my-domain.com.
