There has been an announcement from Demon in the last few days that may
affect some of its Acorn users, in particular those who have a reference to
post.demon.co.uk in their !Internet.files.hosts file.

Demon now officially advise against the use of fixed IP numbers for their
server machines (excepting the nameservers and the official gateway) but some
client software relies on certain addresses being predefined rather than
resolved as needed.

If you experience any problems uploading e-mail, you may find that commenting
out the existing line may be all that is needed. If this does not work,
however, then you need to redefine the line in the hosts file to read

193.195.0.154        post.demon.co.uk
