What kind of entries do I need to create? I want to use pop.mydomain.com for my pop server, and smtp.mydomain.com for my smtp server. So do I just create two host records? Where do MX records come in to play in my situation? Thanks.

I'm going to give a different name for each purpose, even though the example is assuming all servers are on the same IP:

mydomain.com. MX 10 mail.mydomain.com.
mail.mydomain.com. A 127.0.0.1
smtp.mydomain.com. A 127.0.0.1
pop.mydomain.com. A 127.0.0.1

Incoming SMTP: mail.mydomain.com
Outgoing SMTP: smtp.mydomain.com
POP3: pop.mydomain.com
