Just out of curiosity, does every client get a @nenetwork.com address?

For those looking into colocating, or even hosting, try these for your
prospective provider:
$ nslookup -type=mx nenetwork.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
nenetwork.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.nenetwork.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
nenetwork.com nameserver = NS1.nenetwork.com
nenetwork.com nameserver = NS2.nenetwork.com
mail.nenetwork.com internet address = 64.51.39.66
NS1.nenetwork.com internet address = 64.51.39.67
NS2.nenetwork.com internet address = 64.51.39.66
Oops. Only one MX, no backups.
$ /usr/sbin/traceroute 64.51.39.66 # and .67, exact same result.

So the mail & DNS servers seem to be behind a single DSL line. If that
line fails, your entire domain could become unavailable. And if that's
where the servers are colocated too, you could accomodate about 8
60GB/mo clients if you get the fastest line they offer.
