no, no, no! CNAMES are discouraged as they create additional work
for everyone else's DNS servers. the only time its proper to use a
CNAME is when you are referencing a host on someone else's network who's
addressing and management is beyond your control and you won't get
notifications if its changing.
for email, all the various domains should have MX records with the mail
server's "true" name.
