You've got a few problems,
you're missing a period in the all you're records, including the mx record,
causing the domain to be appended which is probably not what you want:
bash-2.03# dig kotyk.net mx
; <<>> DiG 9.2.0rc8 <<>> kotyk.net mx
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 33707
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;kotyk.net. IN MX
;; ANSWER SECTION:
kotyk.net. 259200 IN MX 10 mail.kotyk.net.kotyk.net.
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

You need to fix your ns record also, add an a record for the name server,
and point the ns record to that. You'll also want to change the mname field
to that name also, instead of just the domain name;
bash-2.03# dig kotyk.net ns
; <<>> DiG 9.2.0rc8 <<>> kotyk.net ns
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16173

Also, the reverse entry points to a different domain, which may cause mail
sent from you to be rejected as spam in some cases.
bash-2.03# dig -x 24.237.4.70
; <<>> DiG 9.2.0rc8 <<>> -x 24.237.4.70
