Tim,
Let's see if I have this right. What I hear you saying here then is to get
the mx record and have it point at mail.pilotalk.com and now is this virtual
hosted with in Postfix or Apache. You kind of left dry there. I am
supposing Postfix as that makes the most sense. But I want to make sure.
Also are you familiar enough with Postfix to help me with the steps or to
find some good docs for Postfix. I will also look at the documents that
Postfix provides.
Scott

Just for the sake of conforming to common expectancies, and *no* other
reason, it'd be unusual to use "www." as the suffix for a mail server
domainname. Using something like "mail." or "smtp." would be more
commonplace.
Using separate sub-domains has advantages for future expansion. You
might prefer the services offered by some other company for your mail,
or have to use another machine with the same hosting company. You can
change the IPs for the mail server independently of the web server, and
not even have to change the configurations of other things.
Once you start running your own mail services, you really ought to have
a MX record with your domain name (that points to your SMTP mail server
address). At the moment, you don't have one. The MX record is the
proper way that other servers work out how to send your mail to you.
