Typically, I do the following:
mydomain.com A 1xx.1xx.1xx.1xx
mail.mydomain.com A 2xx.2xx.2xx.2xx
mydomain.com MX mail.mydomain.com
The MX record directs all the mydomain.com mail to the host
mail.mydomain.com. I like this approach because it allows me to use a
different server for mail than for www, just by specifying a different IP
address for mail.mydomain.com in the A record (as above).
