And if you're doing name-based hosting and you already have a PTR record for that IP
address, do not create another PTR record on that IP address.  You should only have
one PTR record per IP address.  And it may be obvious, but if you setup the MX
records as in the above example (I set up many sites exactly like the example) make
sure you have an A record for mail.yourserver.com.
