can onyone point me in the right direction on how to get this working is? is there any good howto's out there or docs? should I be using sendmail?

Your MX record points at an IP address. AFAIK you need to point it at an A record then point the A record at your IP address.

local domains
 

it turns out that I needed to add atloads.com to the local domains in webmin the only porblem is I know this worked I just don't know why... do you know what that is or what file it updates? thanks for your help...
