That is, in fact, the cannonical name of my mailserver. I have created A
records for smtp.conundrum.com and pop3.conundrum.com for compatability if and
when I actually have more than one machine on my local network, but they both
point to the same IP conundrum.com does.
I will try this method again and see what happens. Perhaps I slipped up when
I tried it the first time...?
