I will NEVER recommend any CNAMEs based DNS. That's just asking for
trouble. And adding the FQDN to the email server alias field is
redundant and it will cause problems, too.

So you're causing two problems that somehow (under certain
circumstances) happen to cancel themselves out.

Additionally it'll break as soon as you add a subdomain and want email
for that as well.

Hence: Do it by the book and you'll have no issues. And forget that
CNAMEs even exist.
