Just to be picky, you should have a canonical hostname that
pairs with your static IP (the results of dig +short -x
$your_ip). You have to use a hostname as the target of an MX
record, not a bare IP: bare IPs in MX records is a violation
of some RFC or other, and could get you blacklisted by
rfc-ignorant.org.
