Getting the best from Mail Server

I am less than 5 hours old with VestaCP and I need your help here

1. From the setup guide (http://vestacp.com/docs/#how-to-setup-mail-server), the number six says
root@localhost:~# hostname
localhost
root@localhost:~# v-change-sys-hostname mail.vestacp.com
root@localhost:~# hostname
mail.vestacp.com
When I type "hostname" on SSH Client, it shows my domain name instead of localhost. Is this correct? What do I do here?
then for the second line, "v-change-sys-hostname mail.vestacp.com", should I put it as it is here or I should replace "mail.vestacp.com" with "mail.mydomainname.com"


2. On the "Mail" option of the Menu, I want to setup an email account, should I type the full email address in "Account" box?
example: [email protected] or just admin


3. How do I set the email sending limits to something very high per hour. I want to host an email application for a marketing business and they want unlimited email sending limits, which the VPS provider agreed on their VPS.

1. should show something like server.yourdomain.com
2. just the username admin in your case
3. FIGURE THIS ONE OUT YOURSELF

thanks a lot joem,
but still on the first question, should I write this : v-change-sys-hostname mail.vestacp.com
or this v-change-sys-hostname mail.dukeservers.com
