I am preparing servers to use with OpenSMTPD and Sympa to provide mail

I need to settle on names to define as the "mailname" for each the two
servers I will designate for the DNS MX records for all my
mail-enabled domains. The mailnames should be "fully qualified domain
names" (FQDNs) so they will have names like:
+ mail.example.com <http://mail.example.com>
+ smtp.example.com <http://smtp.example.com>
+ mx.example.com <http://mx.example.com>
Does anyone have strong reasons to use one over another, or any other
choice?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know your use case but using 'regular' names like
smtp.example.com, imap.example.com, pop3.example.com etc, help with the
auto config processes used on devices, thus making it easier for users
to setup accounts on their devices.
