I'm not quite sure what you're filling out, but the MX records of one of
my domains look like this. This means that mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes
preferentially to the mail server at torg.kalinweb.net, and when that host
doesn't reply as a valid mail server (say my T1 goes down or postfix dies)
it goes to burkins.....
; mail exchangers
kalinweb.net. IN MX 10 torg.kalinweb.net.
kalinweb.net. IN MX 90 burkins.ne.mediaone.net

I would guess that in my example the host would be kalinweb.net and the
mailserver would be torg.kalinweb.net, but you should probably ask for
help from the registrar.
