OK so as I see it the general consensus is that I should, for each site have

an A record ( and I assume PTR records ) for each virtual site set as:-

mail.xyz.com

xyz.com

and MX records for each pointing towards www.xyz.com

I -must- be missing something here. Why would you go to the effort of creating a mail.xyz.com and then point MX records to www.xyz.com? That seems particularly silly.

Really, though, I think it depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and how your network is set up.
