The MX records are used to find out where to send email for your domain. Do you know what servers the MX record should point to? You should be able to ask whoever manages the email. If you are running the email server and it's only your server you would point the MX records to your server.
I would recommend creating a CNAME from www.domain.com to domain.com. It's less of a pain if you need to change IPs. As far as MX, create a record domain.com MX <MX Server> (example: bu-dtw.livnmi.com)

Its simple create A name record for Mail.domain.com for mailserver IP and then create MX record pointing it to Mail.domaiin.com.
You are done.
