Replace it with:

    at now+0002 "smtp gateway post.demon.co.uk"

I think 1 minute might be a bit neat for the whole modem init/login 
sequence.

The same place as the DIS front-end that doesn't corrupt autoexec.net 
and handles long hostnames?

More seriously, whilst it's simple to fix it so the address is only 
resolved when necessary, it doesn't handle the multi-homing too well 
- even if it's on a revolving short TTL you'll have to wait up to 5 
mins[1] for a new address.  There comes a point where replacing the 
SMTP client would be easier ...

[1] the minimum TTL given out by the unfixed version of Bind that the 
ns-cache pair appear to be running.

Cheers, Graham.
