I have no problem posting from Linux - here's proof.

With email, however, the mail queue is set up OK and all looks well.
After going online, the queue is run.  Subsequent check shows the queue to be
empty.  But I have had no replies after mailing various people.  I have 
responded to helpful setup suggestions, and emailed friends just as tests.

I must conclude that mail is not being delivered, yet I have had no messages
from Demon (my provider) about failed mail.

Can anyone suggest where I might look for the fault ?
I'm feeling cut off   :-(

Regards

Jeff
