No. You want the web server and mail server alias fields to have

	example.com

in them.  By default, the RaQ answers web requests for www.example.com 
and email addressed to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Of course for the web server alias to work (so that people can just type 
in 'example.com' in their browsers to get to your website), you need 
another DNS "A" record for example.com pointing to the IP address of the 
site.

For my mail server, I actually have 2 aliases, entered like

	example.com, mail.example.com

in the mail server alias field.  My "MX" record for example.com points 
to mail.example.com, and I have an "A" record for mail.example.com 
pointing to my site IP address.  I like this because if I ever want to 
move my mail and web to separate machines, all I have to do is change 
the "A" record for mail.example.com and the email goes to the new box.
