To be fair to Demon, they've been advising people to use 
post.demon.co.uk as the mail host for yonks as the old IP addresses 
would be discontinued at some point. And they gave reasonable final 
warnings about the older gateways being discontinued recently. Perhaps 
you should subscribe to demon.announce or the equivalent mailing list.

What I will agree is that the starter kit and the Oasis 1 distributions 
are now hopelessly out of date with respect to servers for most 
things, including the name servers etc. These need serious revisions 
to the archives or additional documentation supplying to new users.

Cheers,
John
