No, the IP for mail.domain.com can be the same IP as www.domain.com and domain.com, it is normal for the same IP to handle both web and mail services for a domain. e.g. A - domain.com - 192.168.100.1 A - www.domain.com - 192.168.100.1 with automatic reverse generation on A - mail.domain.com - 192.168.100.1 MX - domain.com - mail.domain.com - high priority
Does this hold true even if we have multiple virtual domains sharing the same IP? Right now we have about 4-5 per IP.
Actually, there are no problems with mail delivery, it's just that when someone sends mail to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, it generates the MX loop error. Mail to user@xxxxxxxxxx and user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx get delivered fine. (For the moment I just told the user not to have his reply-to set to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but to plain user@xxxxxxxxxxx)
