Try this. I use CNAME to the "A" record but you could just use all "A"
Records for ftp,pop,smtp,www and or the host name i.e., raq

  Domain.com.    Address Record (A)   000.000.000.000
  Domain.com.    Mail Exchange Record (MX)    preference=10, Domain.com 
  ftp.Domain.com.    Canonical Name (CNAME)    Domain.com   
  pop.Domain.com.    Canonical Name (CNAME)    Domain.com   
  smtp.Domain.com.    Canonical Name (CNAME)   Domain.com   
  www.Domain.com.    Canonical Name (CNAME)    Domain.com 

Then make sure that you "x" check  [x] Accept Email for Domain,
and that you "x" check [x] Web Access by Domain, you can find
these option under the "Site Settings" for each virtual site,
then using this DNS setup it does not matter what your host
name is!

Also I use "www" as the host name for each site! i.e.,
Host Name= www  /  Domain Name= Domain.com
