I noticed that for a couple days recently (evenings really- it was okay
early in the morning) Demon was *extremely* slow to establish routeing
although it got there in the end. However, I had to wait a good 30 secs to
a minute from time to time.

If Emailer is timing out, it would give you a -3201 error. Doing a finger
probably took long enough for routeing to be established after which you'd
be okay anyway.

*If* that was the problem, you should be okay now as it all seems to be
working again from here.
