Default [SOLVED] cannot receive outside mail with split DNS setup

hello guys,

i am very new to setting up mail server.. actually this is my first one
so i really don't have any knowledge about this stuff.

my problem is that i am not able to receive mail from other mail servers
i am able to send outside mails. i can also send/receive local mails (w/in zimbra)
i am using the split DNS setup since i cannot get a public ip address for this server (not allowed)

what could be wrong with my setup?

result from cat /etc/hosts
Code:
[zimbra@mailhost ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.36.253.120  mailhost.alliance.com.ph        mailhost
[zimbra@mailhost ~]$
result from cat /etc/resolv.conf
Code:
[zimbra@mailhost ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search mail.alliance.com.ph
nameserver 192.36.253.120
