You have the domain [startreklibrary.com] setup as it resolves:

garry at lappy:~$ nslookup startreklibrary.com
Server:         203.10.1.9
Address:        203.10.1.9#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   startreklibrary.com
Address: 202.72.186.114

So I'd guess [and I have no experience here..] that the nameserver "MX" 
record has not been setup.

Here is a reference..

Again, I have never set up this type of server..


I saw lots of possibilities in :

But perhaps a graphic setup tool like webmin might make it easier..:

I have played with webmin, and, armed with the above "linuxjunkies" 
reference I could probably suss it..

But first up would be the A/MX record[s]...
