The Secret is in the Addressing

My new mail server had been giving me a fit.

I installed and configured multiple instances to no avail.

I was beginning to think that I was exhibiting early onset Alzheimer's as I had only done the same task successfully so many times it wasn't funny.

Finally, when my frustration peaked I checked the DNS information being propagated on the internet.

Lo and behold ...

The IP address was that of the web server and not the mail server.

YouReekA, there was the answer 6 months later. I could have checked this particular parameter five minutes into the process.

Sometimes I don't know where my mind goes but it obviously went off on a tangent with this petty penny ante mess because now it's all fixed and everything is working.

Sometimes the sideline gets lost in the shuffle of life and the workaday world.
