I don't think this is connected - the random line drops seem to 
affect some people and not others - they aren't likely to be related 
to the software running.

This is happening a lot at the moment and I don't know what i can do 
about it. You are reading these messages so AddMail has received the 
'.' which marks the end of the message and sent the appropriate 
respsonse to Demon's punt machines (it won't deliver the mail to you 
unless it has done this.)

This has to be a fault at the Demon end although whether there is 
some local factor from AddMail adding to the problem I cannot say for 
sure. The real pain is I'm not seeing it heare so I can't test easily.
The short term fix is to ask Demon to delete the message from 
your mail queue for you which should stop the resend attempts.
