Thanks for the hand holding Steve, it really is appreciated.

You could always do a complete hand crafted email via telnet and see if that has any more errors to work on.

OK, I went through your instructions and got the following (I x'd out some details)

=================
telnet mailserver.iandb.me.uk 25
220 mail-frees01.fasthosts.co.uk ESMTP Postfix
helo xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
250 mail-frees01.fasthosts.co.uk
mail from:xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
250 Ok
rcpt to:xxx@xxxxxxxxxxx
250 Ok
data
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
From: xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: xxx@xxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Test 2

This is a test
..
250 Ok: queued as 13C4316BE5E
quit
221 Bye
=================

I tried this three times and all three emails went to the correct destination.

If you get that email but not one sent by outlook (or whatever) then take a carefull look at the outlook (or whatever) setup.

I'm using Thunderbird. I tried using OE and the Vispa webmail system and none of them can send an email to iandb.me.uk.

I guess that now points the finger at the Vispa mail system configuration?

Yes, this kind of fault can be a bother to track down but carefull use of each bit of the system will get it sorted. 

OK, I'll keep persevering. Thanks again.
