Hey, don't knock the repeats -- the TV companies have been punting 
old stuff for years ;-)  And it is very quiet in here.

But talking of punts I did start a thread "Demon punts and SMTP" 
a short while back, originally in demon.ip.support.pc and followed 
up in demon.service, concerning the punts' apparent inability to 
use ESMTP (and its SIZE extemsion).  And, it transpired, to handle 
properly any 5xx error after completion of DATA.

Maybe we'll have to wait another five years for this topic to be 
resurrected ;-)
