	You don't have an MX record for the domain itself.  You have a 
wildcard MX record for all the non-matching records in the domain, 
but even this won't match the sending of mail to user at ftp.hkdc.net, 
user at www.hkdc.net, etc....

	Remove the wildcard MX record, add an MX record for the domain 
itself, and everything else should be fine.
