Re: How to set up a MX record for Exchange?

Then you do setup the MX record with buydomains.com. I don't use them so
check their help for instructions. Most likely the host would be the A
record that ties your chosen FQDN name (often mail.yourdomain.com) to your
static IP address, the mailserver host name would then be the FQDN that you
just setup, and the priority would be the lowest number if you also setup a
secondary queuing type server. TTL is time to live.
