my file is now:
name = Tarquin Mills
host = accus.my.home
smtp = olegobble.my.home
user = tarquin
sigf signature_txt

my DNSrecords_txt file contain:
olegobble.my.home 0xc0a801ca
olegobble 0xc0a801ca
accus.my.home 0xc0a801cb
accus 0xc0a801cb
[rest of file as default]
When running JH mailer messages go between the QL and exim SMTP
server running on my Linux box, e.g. HELO from the QL, is
followed by the Linux box replying 250. The trouble now is that
mailer times out at random before it sends the message, i.e.
the "press any key to exit" message appears before it should. The
only other clue I have is that some of the text from the SMTP
server is garbled.
I have tried pinging the ql and as JD said Soql mentions the
ping on the screen (the little window on the right), but does not
pong the message back. I would like to try the pong working
version.
