I have observed (but not tried to test) a pattern used by spammers
wherein they will even try to forge in whatever DNS says your MX
host's name is. This would mean that having the host's MX be (perhaps
only slightly) different from the host's canonical name would allow
you to make a clean distinction between these.

It would seem kind of pointless to call your DNS server "mail" anyhow.

I'm not enough of a DNS guru to tell you how exactly this should be
set up properly. Anybody?
