Default mx record

I have a subdomain that needs to keep mail redirect to their mail server.

I am on a baby plan, how can I change the MX entry to point to the correct IP?

Can I create a host, and specify an IP address? then go in the mail section and change the mx to the host i've just created?

Thanks

Jean

Create a host? I'm not sure what you are talking about with that, but you can edit the MX record for a subdomain. Put in the domain address of the mail server you wish to connect to.

I thought that IPs are not allowed in MX records
