If by "alias", you mean a second A record for 84.92.49.234, then the common
practice is to use a hostname of mail.domain.tld
If by "alias", you mean a CNAME, you should know that listing a CNAME in an
MX record violates the RFC. It often works, but some servers check for
this and reject all mail
For the purposes of blocking subdomains of known-bad domains I definitely
want the "free" wildcard functionality so I'll continue using what I'm
using. Thanks for the information!

I'm afraid this is a little off topic for dnsmasq but I don't know
where else I could ask.
If I have a small server that is both a basic internet host *and* the
mail server for that host how does one set up the MX record in the
zone file?
I.e. I have a server for the domain zbmc.eu and 'host zbmc

There are two ways to do this: one is the way you have.
The second is using either a file in the same format as /etc/hosts
and --addn-hosts, using --host-record.
Either probably have similar memory-footprint implications, but the
first does wildca

Thanks. I thought maybe I should just define it like all other machines,
but wasn't sure if the server's name was a special case.

Just the same way it does any other machine; the fact that a machine is
a name server does not make its name(s) or IP address(es) any special
