abuse <at> whathostingshould.be is where I'm hoping to get them to go. 
Anyhow, I *think* I'm just going to lease two more, slap up an certificate, 
and assign the other IP address solely to the email service. Then, 
hopefully, I'd have even greater control... Actually, assuming all goes 
well, I'll just re-route NS2.KGIII.INFO to the new IP address rather than 
messing with the email servers. As one will still be up, propagation 
shouldn't be hampered for existing or new clients. I'll keep plugging away 
at it at any rate. Thanks so far. <g>
