I've been running sendmail since 1994, I outsource email for organizations 
(including small ISPs), and I'm the western-hemisphere distributor for a 
major windows-based email server (at <www.mailtraqna.com>).  Here's how I 
do it:

Presuming a domain name of <www.domain.com>, I create an A record for 
<mail.domain.com> (with the main IP# for the box on which I'm receiving 
email), and an MX record pointing  <domain.com> to <mail.domain.com> with a 
precdence of 10.

That gives me modularity and scalability.
