I have a domain www.mydomain.co.uk and it is registered with 123-reg.co.uk. The nameservers in the 123-reg control panel are set to:
ns1.linode.com
ns2.linode.com
ns3.linode.com
ns4.linode.com
I am under the impression that setting the nameservers to my linode then make the 123-reg (A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV) settings redundant and they should now be set using my linode DNS manager?
In my linode I have the following settings for domain zone:
mydomain.co.uk
SOA Record
========================
Primary DNS: ns1.linode.com
Email: contact@mydomain.co.uk
Rest of settings: Default
NS Records

SRV Records

With these settings, I am able to send emails via the 123-reg webmail client to my personal hotmail and can also receive emails sent from my hotmail. What I am stuck on, is if I try to send an email from the 123-reg webmail, to that same email address, it never gets received though the email is there in the sent box.
I'm not too clued up on all this so I don't really even know where to look, I was hoping to supply as much detail as I can in the hope that someone might know why my email cannot receive messages it sends to itself?
Thank you so much for reading this, any help is greatly appreciated!
