If you do "dig home.isbd.net MX" or "dig isbd.net MX" as command lines, is the answer the IP for the machine you expect to handle your mail? Don't have "dig"? Install it... Mail uses MX records, when done properly, not A records (nor entries in hosts file, I think - I think MX will supersede them, too). If the MX record points to somewhere else, that's where the mail will go to. Is this domain your own, or are you making use of your ISPs? And is it set up properly.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
