Is anyone else having problems sending emails to a Demon user, or if your a
Demon user are you having problems receiving emails ?

For more than two months almost every email I've tried to send to a Demon
user has been retruned or delayed, generally due to parsing on the punt 1 &
punt 2 mailservers.

Its beginning to really piss me off.

At first we though Globalnet was to blame, but  I'm getting the same
problems when sending from other SMTP servers, and it ONLY happens when the
recipient has a Demon account.
