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.
