A quick whois lookup shows that you used GoDaddy to register.
GoDaddy sets up bogus MX records and you can remove them.

[GoDaddy......]
10   xen02.satimis.com   220.232.213.178
20   smtp.secureserver.net   -> CNAME(s) -> 64.202.166.12 (no glue)
30   mailstore1.secureserver.net   64.202.166.11 (no glue) 
[......GoDaddy]

You can remove any MX record that you do not accept mail through.
