Yep, that's pretty much it. If that's the primary host on your IMail
server, it's also recommended to make an entry in your system's HOSTS
file:
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS (usually)
like this:
255.255.255.255 creativecolor.com
(Substituting your server's IP number.) That let's your machine know that
it resolves "creativecolor.com" locally, and it won't have to do a DNS
lookup on itself.
Keep in mind, also, that you can have multiple Host Aliases on your
domain, separated by spaces. You should have at least 3 entries in there:
mail.creativecolor.com, creative-color.com, and mail.creative-color.com.
