Can you give me an example of deploying ANAME outside the zone APEX that

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.

That's not a problem, you can have MX records at the CNAME target.

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

I can see why this is a concern, but does current sendmail still rewrite the headers? (The envelope recipient is far less problematic.)

Thanks,
Florian
