Well, the thing is that I don't want to have to get my users to enter
'mail.myserver.com' as the SMTP server. I want them to be able to just enter
'myserver.com' as the server name. I already have many, many users, and
getting them to all change over to mail.myserver.com would not be easy.
Hence, I am not sure that I can use a second IP address.
