I have a domain registered at GoDaddy and a dedicated server I want to use to manage e-mails.

If I want to keep mydomain.com loading from GoDaddy(at least for now) yet when e-mails are sent to mymailbox@mydomain.com these are managed over at my dedicated server, do I simply have to add a new Hostname in the GoDaddy control panel like this:

Hostname: MAIL

IP Address: IP of the dedicated server

Would this be enough, or I also need to add an MX record and if yes, how?

In my dedicated server control panel, I added this for the domain:

Existing DNS records

Hostname: @
Type: MX
Content: mail.mydomain.com
Priority: 0
Time to live: 300
