Your server seems to have a wrong address cached for ns.datamarkets.com.
When I look that up I get:

ns.datamarkets.com.	86400	CNAME	datamar1.datamarkets.com.
datamar1.datamarkets.com.	86400	A	208.21.40.66

However, when I just queried your server, it had this MX record in its
cache.  It must have switched to the other server at some point.
