Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Assign each of those domain addresses a different IP, then just alias the multiple IP's on the router, with each being forwarded to a different internal server.
So DNS-wise for the public IP's you have...
1.2.3.4 = mail.company.com...

The emphasis on the 'none..' part is mine, as warning to those who think they're 100% secure...
