If you set up something like this
domain.com IN A	your ip address
www.domain.com IN A your ip address
mail.domain.com IN A their ip address
domain.com IN MX 	30,mail.domain.com
www.domain.com IN MX 	30,mail.domain.com

it should work for you (works for me)

you can do that via the GUI by just adding the addition A record and by then
adding the MX records to point to the mail.domain.com
