That's the animal.  I can't verify the number, but I remember the
wording
(as it flashed by - only 25 lines and the message scrolled off too fast 
to capture).

OK, thanks.

Logs are a problem - I'm not there to do them, and (as far as I can
tell)
KA9Q doesn't log the SMTP traces.  Of course, I can modify the sources
and recompile with special traces in, but that will take quite a time...

I can try to do a special login from here (Germany) to get logs.

How do I do that?
