I'm not at all convinced that I have the MX record right yet though, nor am I convinced that I actually need that 'mws' CNAME record. Could I just set the MX record to:-

Your MX records should never be a CNAME.
... and do I *need* a second MX (backup) record or will the sending SMTP server just back off and try again if my server is down for a short while?
No, you don't.
