I presume you're trying to get mail for user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  Here's
what you need:

An A record for gonzo.domain.com
An A record for www.gonzo.domain.com
An MX record pointing gonzo.domain.com to domain.com

Yes, I've done this sort of thing before and the RaQ is well-designed
for it.  Just make sure you put "www" into the hostname field, and
"gonzo.domain.com" into the domain-name field, when you set up the
domain, be sure to set the RaQ to accept email to the "domain name"
(which is now "gonzo.domain.com), and do the records as above, and it
should work fine.
