That seem to be straight forward.... It tell you that you need to add your email server's IP address to the DNS server and you have to make sure that you create a MX record on the DNS server (MX is the short form for Mail eXchange) that's how other server can identify you.

cheers

If you are hosting your own DNS server then it should be simple and painless but if your ISP is providing you that service then you have to contact them and formaly request that (it might cost you some money for that and I'm not even sure if they would allow that for residential service)

cheers
