 The first one delivers mail through my Roaming profile, 
 using googlemail's smtp.  The second one sends to my 
 own smtp server for local delivery, something that's 
 happening all the time from other boxes.
 

port 143 is for IMAP, which has nothing to do with smtp.

 Since my brain is reluctant to get in gear over this, 
 where should I be looking for the problem?

but what is the problem exactly?

They originate from my router.

 Also, the destination port is 143, so this is imap, and 
not related
 to sending mail, which will be on port 25, 587 or 
465.

Sure - I was thinking that they originated from my 
server, but I did say that my brain refuses to go into gear 
today
.
 My suspicion is that you have filtering on a firewall or 
your imap
 daemon that is allowing you to connect to your imap 
server from your
 non-public network ipnumber (192.168.0.7) to its 
public ipnumber
 (88.97.17.41), but not to its non-public ipnumber 
(192.168.0.40).

I think I should ignore this for today.  That address 
(192.168.0.7) is a dhcp address, which must have been 
my laptop wifi connection, and since I had no wired 
connection at the time, if there had been anything really 
wrong I wouldn't have been able to use my mail, and I 
would have known about it.

It probably represents a fleeting problem.

 Of course the non-public numbers don't go outside 
your network, so
 there may be NATting going on (specifically in the non-
public --
 public case) that's obscuring the issue.

Since it's the router, the commonality seems to rule that 
out.

 By the way, you seem to have asked about this back 
in March.

Did I ask something similar?  I don't recall - but then I 
don't recall what I had for breakfast yesterday.  I'll look 
back and see if I can find anything.

All the same, thanks to your breaking my circle of 
thinking, I don't think there's really a problem.  If it 
occurs again I'll look more closely.

BTW, your reply-to plays havoc with normal list 
behaviour.

The main problem  is current inability to think straight :-)  
The message said IMAP, so my thoughts jumped 
immediately to my IMAP server.  Absolute nonsense.  The 
message came from the router.  I'm not even sure that 
there ever was a problem.  I was playing around 
yesterday with wifi settings, and that's a dhcp address, 
whereas I use static for most things, so was probably 
from a very short-lived situation.  I'm going to ignore it 
unless it turns up again.  If it does I might have more 
idea about what's going on.
