Correct setting for a mail-domain on DNS:
(correct_maildomain.com) correct_maildomain.com MX [10] mailhost.correct_maildomain.com. mailhost A xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa (zzz.yyy.xxx.in-addr.arpa) xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa PTR mailhost.correct_maildomain.com. so if mail has to be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] a) MX is looked up -> message is to be sent to mailhost.correct_maildomain.com b) IP is looked up -> IP for mailhost.correct_maildomain.com = xxx.yyy.zzz c) the PTR record is used to reverse lookup when sending Check with DNS-queries if your ISP's settings are correct.

It points out the IP-address of your mailserver to sending SMTP servers. The A record is also called a host record and is used by most other services but SMTP.
