ask in demon.news -- likely answer will be to use the uk.* group, or for
Demon specific issues d.i.s.nt [I think 2000 might be seen as nearer NT
than Win95]

this would be on-topic in d.i.s.turnpike where you would be told that
Turnpike v5.00 (currently in late beta) is recommended for use with
Windows 2000.

It is a common error on Windows 2000 to arrange for its SMTP server to
be (a) running and (b) completely misconfigured

This is an SMTP server reporting that it does not consider
rogers.demon.co.uk to be local to it.

The text is not from Turnpike, so I deduce it is from Windows 2000 and
you have the problem mentioned above
