Post problems - NAUTH?

Since black Tuesday, I've been having problems sending email via
sendmail 2.02 using post.demon.co.uk as a smart relay. See the excerpt
from my sendmail.log:

35 C< 250 OK
35 C> MAIL From:<kickabout-owner@orqwith.demon.co.uk>
35 C< 250 OK
35 C> RCPT To:<gary.p.heath@is.shell.com>
35 C< 550 (NAUTH) Bad authorization: sender
'kickabout-owner@orqwith.demon.co.uk' not authorized to send to
address 'gary.p.heath@is.shell.com' : send queries to
postmaster@demon.net

I run a few mailing lists using hethmon bro's steward listserver
software.

Is post still sick, or have I been banned? Is running a mailing list
against AUP? I have emailed the postmaster, no reply yet.

I can run sendmail directly, but I've got a problem with one address
where the recipients' SMTP server can't tell the difference between
the headers and the message body. Is there a cheap alternative to
IBM's sendmail? inetmail is too expensive for my requirements, and
doesn't seem as useful as sendmail & deliver.

Cheers,
Tim

are you using your dialup to do this, or some other Internet connection?

You can only relay via post.demon.co.uk if you are connected via Demon.

However, are you sure you are chatting to post.demon.co.uk at the time
and not to one of the other machines. Various configuration errors at
your end can cause you to try and relay via some machine other than the
correct one :( and this will fail.

you'd be told if you were
