Nope, that won't work. CNAMEs don't do a partial match.
Where did I or anyone else specify a partial match?
The user thinks his POP server is called mail.btinternet.com. When he
looks up _report.mail.btinternet.com, what do you expect to happen?
Also 2181. I'll go see if there's a clearer explanation somewhere else.
Normally, something finer-grained that a reference to all of 15 pages would
be expected.
Aw, come on. If you can't find the part about CNAMEs in 10 seconds,
you're not trying.
