guys - i have just transferred a couple of domains from my old host/server to my new host/server.

Everything except for email is working. Let me explain with an example:

1. domain name: digitalhathi.com
2. NS entries are: ns1.axioshost.net, ns2.axioshost.net, ns3.axioshost.net
3. the DNS is hosted with axioshost.net.
4. I have replicated all the entries in the axioshost.net dns manager and my directadmin dns manager for digitalhathi.com (including MX records)

When i try to do a MX record look up, it says no entries found. Emails sent from gmail or some other sources are not reaching the above domain. However, Emails sent from other domains on the server are reaching just fine. The problem is sparodic. Emails are not bouncing either.

How do i fix this? Where do i look?
 
here is the zone file dump of one the domains:

Code: 
bash-4.1# cat rkja.com.db

$TTL 14400
@       IN      SOA     ns1.axioshost.net.      root.rkja.com. (
                                                2014122703
                                                14400
                                                3600
                                                1209600
                                                86400 )

rkja.com.       14400   IN      NS      ns1.axioshost.net.
rkja.com.       14400   IN      NS      ns2.axioshost.net.
rkja.com.       14400   IN      NS      ns3.axioshost.net.

rkja.com.       14400   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a mx ip4:192.81.76.84 ~all"

the other domain is:

Code:

                                                3600
                                                1209600
                                                86400 )
