If you are creating an MX Record which resolves to a mail server on the same domain then you need to create the corresponding A record before or after creating the MX Record. For example, If e-mail for zadomains.xyz is to be delivered to mail.zadomains.xyz then you need to ensure that you have created an A record called mail.zadomains.xyz and when creating the MX record, specify mail.zadomains.xyz as the mail server as per the instructions above.
