technically, no. stylistically, it stinks. and administratively, you're
shooting yourself in the foot.
Don't be stingy when creating host names (they're free and useful).
mydomain.com. MX 10 mx1.mydomain.com. ; internet sends inbound here
mx1.mydomain.com. MX 10 mx1.mydomain.com.
smtp A ip.ad.re.ss ; users' send outbound here (SMTP AUTH)
pop A ip.ad.re.ss ; users read mail
imap A ip.ad.re.ss ; users read mail
webmail A ip.ad.re.ss ; users do webmail
mx1 A ip.ad.re.ss
mydomain.com. A ip.ad.re.ss
