If I use A Name then I can also edit the MX or in this case leave it
where it is. The problem is that I used CName since I have to reroute
through a free dynamic DNS tracker. In the CName settings I only get one
line to put in the alias I want to use which in this case is the free
no-ip domain that tracks my ip address.
Registrar -> No-ip -> Real Server
