ARGH, why does Ctrl+v through VNC send a message 1/10th of the time in
lookout express?!

(Seriously though, I hate people who hard-wrap their lines before sending,
with a vengeance - just because they're running an 80x25 terminal doesn't
mean I am... their mails are a waste of horizontal space on my my maximised
terminal on my 20" monitor (or in the case of when i'm at work, they're a
waste of space in lookout express on my 20" monitor) ;)

That's what I was expecting.

 It looks fine on mx2:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
inracing.com.au.        2592    IN      MX      20 mx2.isa.net.au.
inracing.com.au.        2592    IN      MX      200 mx2.vector.net.au.
inracing.com.au.        2592    IN      MX      10 mail.isa.net.au.

Hmm, though that gets me thinking... - while mx2.isa.net.au resolves to the
same IP as the actual hostname on the machine
(hungryhungryhippos.isa.net.au), will sendmail realise that it's the same
machine? Or should I be doing a Cwmx2.isa.net.au to make sure?

Cheers,

Damien
