You've got a couple of problems. One is that innsandcottages.com has a CNAME
record pointing at dns1.innsandcottages.com. If you do that, unexpected things
will happen. Give it an A record or, preferably, an MX record.
Second is that dns1.innsandcottages.com resolves to 207.194.2.101, which isn't
the same address that ws1.joinhands.com resolves to (207.194.2.103). There's
nothing listening on the SMTP port of 207.194.2.101, though there is on
207.194.2.103.
Fix your DNS, wait for the old records to time out, and then you should be in
good shape.
Thanks for providing real domain names. It makes it a lot easier (and in this
case possible) to answer questions.
