Upon more inspection it was actually the remote mail server that was
causing problems. The server I was trying to send messages to has to
NICs one on 213.87.7.* network and the other on 195.40.11.* network, but
as the qmail server was also on the 2131.86.7.* network this confussed
the remote server, and it rejected the connection. i.e. It expected
213.86.7.* machines to connect to its NIC on the same network, not to
the NIC on the 195.40.11.130.
Thanks for all the sugestions.
Jon.
