Third Party DNS – how to set MX record

] Tags: A record, dns, MX Record

I have a separate DNS, I have my website hosted somewhere else and updated my ‘A Record’ to their IP address and it works.

However I still want to use site5 for my email hosting.
What do I need to change in my DNS settings or cpanel for this.
Currently I have

A Record of
@.mydomain.com 101.0.76.3
mail.mydomain.com 101.0.76.3

This is the IP address of my other sites I have hosted with site5

MX Records of
mail.mydomain.com 1
mydomain.com 5
101.0.76.3 20

It is working! With the above settings perhaps I was not waiting long enough for my changes to take effect.
