Sounds like a DNS issue to me ... so please check that the domain being sent to has both a valid A and MX record present.

Hi there

I am sure domain has valid A and MX record.

Anything else I could do ?

You could try posting some information to prove that the records are correct, search the forums for details of what's required and how to check your DNS (including your /etc/hosts file).
