The mail system itself only requires one domain name.

example:

myhostname = mail.example.com
mydomain = example.com
myorigin = $mydomain

Mail created by the system itself will now appear to originate from example.com.

It not that it is better, if you don't want to experiment then it would be a good idea to first understand what the mydomain and mydestination settings are used for.

Main question would be: where will the mail be stored, and if it's going to be stored locally, will you be using Unix accounts?
