e-mail services down

This reminds me of a DNS oops I pulled in California. We hosted a
web site called studyabroadlinks.com. When I set up the DNS, I
made a cname for www.studyabroadlinks.com point to studyabroad.com.
The end result? Anyone entering www.studyabroadlinks.com in the
browser (or following that link) was sent to their competition. Doooh.
