BTW, I didn't include the priority in that syntax. It can be 0 of
course if you don't use more than one mail server, and the priority goes
after MX and before the FQDN.
example.com. MX 0 somemxserver.googleorsomeotherplace.com.

This works but would it be more proper to have the "mail.example.com"
record be a CNAME?
A cname would point to another domain, not an IP. So you could do this:
example.com. MX somemxserver.googleorsomeotherplace.com.
mail.example.com. CNAME somemxserver.googleorsomeotherplace.com.
Or this:
example.com. MX yourmailserver.example.com.
yourmailserver A 123.123.123
And if yourmailserver.example.com should resolve to the same IP as
example.com:
example.com MX example.com
mail CNAME example.com.
For what its worth..
