Confused

I would have thought that because I can’t ping or tracert my mail server, by IP or by NS, and as a result, can’t POP my mail, that I also wouldn’t be able to go to the web interface for the mail, which has the same name and IP address.

But I can.

Which is fucked.

How does this happen?

What gremlins in the internet are interrupting POP and ping calls but not http?
