A couple of questions regarding e-mail server setup
The setup is as follows:
The main Postfix server is at mail.example.com. This is also configured as the reverse DNS name for the IP address and the MX record is also set to this.
My other domains (lets say blah.com for this) are set as normal except with the MX record set too mail.example.com and the SPF record to include example.com. Also records like mail.blah.com and smtp.blah.com are CNAME records to mail.example.com.
Does this sound like the correct setup for an email server DNS wise?
Thank you for any help.

@hoopycat:
It will work out OK. Your server's name is distinct from the services it provides, and as long as it has one and it is reasonable, it should be fine. "mail" is kind of a boring name for a server, though.
:-)
That's just its external name
Thanks for the info.
Will that work correctly once I have added the correct user and password to the MySQL database?
