Sorry for the repost on this - think it got lost at the end of an older thread about DNS...

Thanks for this post which I too have found helpful. However, I have a couple of things that I don't understand...
1. Assuming that you are using the same IP address for all, why create A records for webmail.<domain> and mail.<domain> as opposed to CNAMEs?
2. Given that you have a CNAME for *.<domain>, why do you also need ftp.<domain> and www.<domain>?
TIA, Matthew
