Since you won't tell us your domain name to help you
Put your domain in
http://www.intodns.com
and see the results
if you don't understand the results
Please post back with your domain name so we can look

Thanks
Russ

As Russ said, it is difficult to help without knowing the actual domain name.

And why would the web design agency people change your mail record if they are only working on and developing a website for you? Does that mean they changed nameservers for your domain?

my guess
as most web people do
is move the hosting to WHERE they want it hosted
so they can charge more :)
But yes, we need to know the domain
