1:35 am - not bad!

On that basis, as long as I employ a rulset to re-write the sender
address's - it doesn't matter that the sendmail configuration reports
'gcsintranet.com' (my localname) as being the host - rather than
thegrangecs.demon.co.uk

If so, not a problem as now I know whats going on - but is that
normal?

Or was
