You create the MX records on your DNS server.  So for instance,  you'll want to go to the DNS service, expand your server name, then Forward Lookup Zones.  Click on your domain name and in the right pane, right click once and select "New Mail Exchanger (MX)"

Give it the name you want and point  (Browse) to your mail server.

You can also create a new alias (CNAME) the same way and give it a name such as mail.yourserver.com and point that to your Mail server.
