short answer: can't be done
You cannot have a cname and 'other' information for same entry. As a zone
requires an SOA record, you cannot have a CNAME for the entire domain
(theoretically a registrar could do it in .com, but afaik nobody does
his).
Depending on customer's requirements, can put in a wildcard *.abcd.com
in cname xyz.com
Or can load the same zone file for both abcd.com and xyz.com, so in both,
mail<domain> goes to the same place
