I'm guessing if your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file lists the server as 
"mail.office.example.com" rather than "mail" then that's all you can 
connect with. Testing my setup here, the reverse certainly seems true.

I can see the point - imagine moving between the London to the 
Manchester office and connecting to "mail" - that can only apply to one 
mailserver.
