Ahhh... that may explain things.

Not convinced it was :(

Can that be an IP address? (It isn't ATM & as I said, the DNS is flaky.)
There are likely to be references in sendmail.cf to MX records, aren't
there?  Can I remove these?  All I want to achieve is to send one email
per day relayed by the exch server!


....alternatively could my cron job call a Perl script that uses
Mail::Mailer (or does this use sendmail as well?)
