Nope.  That would alias /www.example.com/mail to the right directory,
but not mail.example.com.

Not as easily done as said.

For name-based hosting this probably isn't too hard, but you need the
following for each IP# for which you serve websites:

You need a single VirtualHost block for each IP, with a ServerName
pointing to one of the domains on that IP# (as mail.example.com), and
then a ServerAlias entry for all the other domains on that IP#, (as
mail.example.com, for each domain).

You should also make sure that /home/mail/data is world-readable; you
may also need a directory container for the /mail/home/mail/data
directory.

Good luck <smile>.
