When you say pointing, do you mean using your server as the nameserver with their registrar?    Is your server registered with your registrar as a nameserver?

If that's the case, then you just need to create an Host (A) record for mail that points to that ip (216.153.249.36), then create the mx record to point to mail.oilequipment.com
