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.....   :)

                  All the best,
