You can use a delegation but make sure the delegation is to the
Authoritative DNS server for the test.com zone that hold the mail host.
In fact I usually recommend delegations because some ISPs have a tendancy to
move their server IPs around trying to stay a step ahead of spammers, and
hackers although I can't testify that it realy does any good.
