Okay, if anyone is interested, I actually got a useful response form the
Demon Helpdesk when a guy told me that he had just discovered there were
problems on 158 addresses, and that my call confirmed it.
It now seems to be fixed but e-mail is weird with loads of stuff stuck on
punt-3. :-/
Oh well..... :)
