Dee gave a good description of what to do, but I'd like to add a few
things to the mix:

Not only for fun, but one SHOULD have valid reverse DNS. Some MX will
refuse mail if it comes from a box with invalid reverse DNS entries.

Suggestion: Find someone with whom to exchange secondary DNS. The whole
point of having primary and secondary DNS servers is redundancy.

Painful but necessary. :-(
> 5. Change the name of your Base IP in your nameserver settings if you
want.

Again, I'd recommend changing this, to ensure that your MX has valid
reverse DNS.
Have fun,
Eddy
