Hi you don't need mail.mydomain.com but that is not important anywhay
all you need is mydomain.com smtp.mailserver.com
assuming that you can do an nslookup on
smtp.mailserver.com

elase you could have
mail.mydomain.com -> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxy  (ip address of their mail server)
MX Records
mydomain.com -> mail.mydomain.com


I few things to check it maybe DNS delays
check a few other dns servers
likke
nslookup
set q=mx
to see what the other dns servers say if they are right then it should be
working for most people but it will not be working for mail sent form thet
servers itslef like forms etc sent from it as it will send local
if its a Raq3 unckeck that box accept mail for domain
if its a Raq4 remove the entry in the GUI under site setings where you
have the domain name in email box

you can test to see where mail is going

echo "test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -v thereaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
