Actually I have tought that before, at our server we serve about 30
domains, so I picked another domain, for eg. my.somehost.com so users with
host @my.somehost.com don't have to put their full username, but it still
come back with @server.somehost.com
Although my.somehost.com really have A address ;(
Or, the A address for server.somehost.com should be changed to CNAME ?
