I am attempting to complete google's mail MX setup. I would link, but new users can't have two links, and I think the following img is more important.

This is what my input options are for DNS Made Easy, which manages my domain:

I would like to confirm that I understand the fields correctly. It is my understanding that I am supposed to:

  1. Leave Name (Host) Blank
  2. Set Data to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. (and repeat for each of the server addresses provided by google)
  3. Set the MX level to what Google has in "Priority" column
  4. Set TTL as high as possible

Did I get it right? The nightmare scenario is that I screw up, and bring everyone's mail down :P

Thanks in advance for your time.
