  Hello,

  As you can see below, the issue here is that wordpress does not have any mx records set in their name servers.

  [sebf@gw ~]$ dig mx alternativepizza.ie @ns1.wordpress.com

  ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.6 <<>> mx alternativepizza.ie @ns1.wordpress.com
  ;; global options: printcmd
  ;; Got answer:
  ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 29503
  ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
  ;alternativepizza.ie. IN MX

  That’s why the email is not working.
  You need to specify them to add the following MX record in the zone.

  alternativepizza.ie. IN MX 0 mail.alternativepizza.ie.

  Once that record get added, the mail should start to work.

  Regards,
  Sebastián
