domain at anotehr registrar how to setup email server?

Hello, my domain is hosted on a dedicated server the domain name is at a registrar, i wan to know how to setup at the registrar in order for me to use my email account. Here is how the zone file looks like:

.domain.org A 88.191.158.109
mail.domain.org CNAME mail.domain.org
.domain.org MX 1 redirect.ovh.net

i think the third line should be set to mail.domain.org right? thank you for you feedback !

Howdy,

Yup, the key is to make sure that the various DNS records point to your server... and you can do that by making sure they either specify your IP address, or a domain name that resolves to your IP address.

Changing the MX record so that it points to mail.domain.org should cause the email to be sent to your server.
