If you have a subdomain that needs to be a mail domain and a web site, you
need an MX pointing at your mail server and address records pointing at
your web server. You can't use a CNAME because they are usually different
servers.

Also, mail domains cannot in practice be CNAMEs because of the disaster of
RFC 821 / RFC 1122 mail domain canonicalization.
