Greetings,
To mine knowledge, CNAME isn't allow for a mailserver ..
http://www.sendmail.org/rfc/1123.html#5.2.2
5.2.2 Canonicalization: RFC-821 Section 3.1
The domain names that a Sender-SMTP sends in MAIL and RCPT
commands MUST have been "canonicalized," i.e., they must be
fully-qualified principal names or domain literals, not
nicknames or domain abbreviations. A canonicalized name either
identifies a host directly or is an MX name; it cannot be a
CNAME.
