Yes, I do. As a passing comment - it may be important - my outgoing mail is in the
following directory:
./var/mail/outgoing/,town:/
(note odd name of folder ",town")
The mail is sitting there, but there is also an empty sub-folder called
"mail-outgoing", ie:
./var/mail/outgoing/,town:/mail-outgoing/
Does this mean anything?

Yes, it is MacOS X, and I can't remember who I had previous conversations with
regarding file limits. However, this is solved and is not an issue. (In summary -
the tcsh shell on MacOS X defaults to a 255 open file limit per process. This appears
to be simply a shell default. Under bash on MacOS X it appears to default to 12288.)
Anyway, no emails are going out at all.
Any suggestions gratefully received. I suspect this is something odd with the setup
at my end, but I can't spot it anywhere.
