Both of those can point to several different servers:

Name:    mail.mindspring.com
Addresses:  207.69.200.246, 207.69.200.25, 207.69.200.57, 207.69.200.60
          207.69.200.110, 207.69.200.148, 207.69.200.157, 207.69.200.226, 207.69.200.243

Name:    pop.mindspring.com
Addresses:  207.69.200.225, 207.69.200.16, 207.69.200.29, 207.69.200.43
          207.69.200.78, 207.69.200.101, 207.69.200.119, 207.69.200.129, 207.69.200.184
