(Aug 20 06, 21:06)No. At least not in my case.
I set up a sub domain mail.whatever.com, with an A record pointing to the mail server IP. I then set the MX record for whatever.com to:
mail.whatever.com
and then you need to set a priority
0= First
5= Second
and so on, depending on how many backups you want.I think the MX record has to be a qualified (sub)domain name.

Let us know how you get on. I've never seen an MX record as an IP address. As I said, I think it has to be a fully qualified domain name.

The MX record has to be a name, no IP.
You can have multiple MX records. The number value mentioned above is the priority for the MX records.
