Thanks, Bruce, but no action is required (see my other post). This is
an external mail server, namely mail.aurora1.co.home.com. All my
problems appear to have been resolved by a reboot - restart of network
would probably have accomplished the same thing, but I had to reboot
anyway after putting the router and cables in their permanent homes
instead of snaking across the middle of the room for the initial test.
