You can certainly use mail.domain.com without making it a virtual site. 
DNS merely points it to a machine.  If you wanted it to be your RaQ,
fine.

Here's how we set up dns...

<snip>
 $TTL 3600
 @       IN SOA  ns1.ns-one.net. hostmaster.ns-one.net. (
                 2002022601      ; Serial
                 10800           ; Refresh after 3 hours
                 1800            ; Retry after 1/2 hour
                 172800          ; Expire after 2 days
                 3600 )          ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
 
 ; NS records
 @               IN      NS      ns1.ns-one.net.
 @               IN      NS      ns2.ns-one.net.
 
 ; MX records
 @               IN      MX      10      mail
 
 ; A records
 localhost       IN      A       127.0.0.1
 @               IN      A       63.108.93.100
 pop             IN      A       63.108.93.100
 www             IN      A       63.108.93.100
 mail            IN      A       63.108.93.100
 
 ; CNAME records
 ftp             IN      CNAME   www
</snip>

We only have one site on the RaQ... www.domain.com.  And an email alias
for "domain.com".

And these dns records work fine.
