Welcome to WebmasterWorld, edzik.

You need to add MX Records to your DNS zone file which lists mail exchange server(s) accepting e-mail for your domain. The format is typically something along the lines of ...

example.com.  IN      MX      10      mx.example.com.

Where the last column might be a subdomain of your main domain which in turn points to an IP address for the server that is handling your mail routing.

You make these entries in your zone file. Are you running and managing your own DNS server(s)? If so, I would highly recommend you search the support site of your operating system for "how to set up a DNS server" and if you are using somebody else's DNS servers then you might either call them for support or read their support docs for the same. You don't want to mess up your DNS information.
