I just signed up for a VPS hosting account with Plesk control panel. For the moment, I'm using my registrar's DNS controls and nameservers. The domain settings that work o.k. with the VPS are:

@        A   212.241.***.***
www      A   212.241.***.***
mail     A   212.241.***.***
webmail  A   212.241.***.***

and the MX entry of:

mail.mydomain.com   10

Although I have no FTP entry, FTP works fine too.

My problem is, I need to transfer a number of client domains from another host. Their email setup require the incoming mail server address to be:

pop.mydomain.com

rather than mail.mydomain.com.

I would really like to allow pop.mydomain.com to work on my VPS, otherwise I'll have to ask all my customers to change their mail client settings. I have seen some example DNS entries that include:

pop CNAME www

Does anyone know if that addition alone would enable my clients to get their mail after the domain transfer without them having to make any changes in Outlook etc. ?
