you need your email alias, in your case you need two
you need mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com
The default for mail is at the url name which is host.domain.com, for you 
being www.mydomain.com
To get mail at user@xxxxxxxxxxxx, you need the alias of mydomain.com
And since you set up the mx record as mydomain.com to mail.mydomain.com, 
you need an alais of mail.mydomain.com, or you could change the mx record 
to be mydomain.com to mydomain.com, but if you moved the mail to another 
server it would take more work.  If you will always have them together, it 
wouldn't matter.
