It is better not to use a CNAME. Rather use an A record with
the same
address as the primary host. See

Thanks for the information. I knew that an MX record may not
point to a 
CNAME (RFC974, later RFC2821) but I didn't came across a
mailer which 
does rewriting based upon a CNAME (unless explicitely
configured to do 
so). FYI: I'm integrating Mailman with Sun Java System
Messaging Server.

Anyway, I fully agree with you that at the end of the day,
an CNAME 
record will probably cause more problems than an A record,
so I'll 
change it. Thanks for your feedback.
