For email set up ns1.mydomain.com to be a relay. All incoming mail is
sent to it and it forwards everything on to mail.mydomain.com. Outgoing
mail is always sent first to mail.mydomain.com which then sends it to
ns1.mydomain.com which then sends mail out to the net. Read up on Smart
Relay Host at sendmail.org.

This configuration is quite nice because you don't have to have any user
accounts on ns1.mydomain.com so it can be very secure. This is the
configuration we use so if you have trouble let me know.
