	How can I receive mail sent to my own domain using MX records?

Solution If you have your own extra domain (eg: mydomain.com) linked to your 110MB account and wish to receive mail sent to it using MX records -- then follow instructions below:

FIRST: You need to be able to manage a DNS yourself (most registrars allow you to do that these day and there are many many many free DNS's on the internet).

Make sure your domain is working and then point the A records to the IP of the box your site is on;

box4 = 194.242.99.89
box5 = 195.242.99.184
box9 = 195.242.99.208
box10 = 195.242.99.192
box11 = 195.242.99.215
box12 = 195.242.99.91
box13 = 64.191.15.150
box14 = 66.197.252.182
box15 = 64.191.15.246
box16 = 70.38.56.186

Point the A records like this (most registrars/hosters where you registered have a nice tool to do this):
(This example applies if you're on box4)

*.YOURDOMAIN. A 195.242.99.89
YOURDOMAIN. A 195.242.99.89

So if your domain is hello.co.uk on box4, point;

*.hello.co.uk. A 195.242.99.89
hello.co.uk. A 195.242.99.89

So this solution works if you provider does not allow you to set the DNS server for a domain to:

ns1.110mb.com
ns2.110mb.com
