Note, if the first site is not available because you logged off. If your
machine logs off and other machine logs in and gets your IP address, two
things can happen:

1. This new machine has no SMTP server, mail goes to your secondary MX
2. This new machine has an SMTP server, mail is bounced to sender

It's just ones of those dumb luck things really. The more windows machines,
the more likely it is to works. The more non-windows machines, the more
damage.
