Take a look at your DNS settings:

 maxcalvo.net.                  NS    ns1.maxcalvo.net
 maxcalvo.net.                  NS    ns2.maxcalvo.net
 maxcalvo.net.                  MX    10   mail.maxcalvo.net
 mgd                            A     206.80.218.244
 worldwidejewels.com            MX    10   mail.maxcalvo.net
 mail                           CNAME mgd.maxcalvo.net


Your MX and CNAME records need to have .'s at the end of names, or they are
assumed to be subdomains of the current domain.  For example, without the .
mail.maxcalvo.net as defined in your MX rec becomes
mail.maxcalvo.net.maxcalvo.net -- the address that is not resolving.  Change
the records to look like this:

 maxcalvo.net.                  MX    10   mail.maxcalvo.net.
 worldwidejewels.com            MX    10   mail.maxcalvo.net.
 mail                           CNAME mgd.maxcalvo.net.

re-start BIND, and you should be good to go.
