MX records point to host names, not TCP/IP addresses. Also, the examles are
not in the correct format. An MX record should look like:

example.com.   60   IN   MX   10   mail.example.com.

where the 60 is the time-to-live in seconds and the 10 is the priority.

In short, you need to know what you are doing with DNS before just blindly
following this advice.
