This has nothing to do with CC; this is plain ordinary DNS.

If you don't understand how DNS in general (and MX records in particular)
work, start reading now. It will save you *significant* amounts of hussle.
DNS is very, very easy, but if you get it wrong, you will find it takes an
age[1] to sort out, and you will inevitably confuse yourself during that
time.

[1] Well, a day really, since that is the TTL many nameservers adopt,
ignoring what you actually placed on the record. But any changes you make
during that day will be ignored - so although you *think* you tried
something, you probably didn't. So another day goes by as your new
erroneous record starts being cached...
