What is the Fully Qualified hostname?  Do you control the DNS server?
Do you have a remote shell account that you can run 
dig @your.name.server.here your.hostname.here  MX

Next, try to telnet to port 25 and run the SMTP exchange by hand:
(helo, mail from: rcpt to: data)

If no joy, Run 
tcpdump -b -vvv -x -X -s 1000 port 53 

and repeat the above mail check.

This should get you started...
