Thanks for the info. I think you are correct as my ISP was out of action
for 1 day - they possibly changed something around. I have also noticed
a drop in ftp speed - 3.3k to 2.3k. Also, I bypass thier mta and use the 
main unsw one where my mail account is (access permissions are ok
though).
Obviously I will have to change this until the problem is fixed.

The exim smpt transfer agent does seem to transfer mail to a second
debian
box I have running exim so I guess exim's smtp tranfer is OK.

Thanks,
Mark.
