Well that's wrong like I said. The MX records should be defined as A
records. Rename your MX record to server.xxxxx.com or make
mail.xxxxx.com an A record for 222.333.44.55.
Also next time don't obfuscate. Without the actual info we can only
go by what you write instead of looking things up for ourselves.
Generally makes this process much slower.
