Thanks Brian, that was my initial thought too - but I've encountered
no DNS difficulties in accessing webpages, fetchmail works first
time, and the queue flushes manually without difficulty, as the fact
that you're reading this mail will attest :)
However, after a look at the webpage you kindly referred me to, I
did the following to see some DNS debug info (transcribed below)
after composing and sending a mail. It seems that the AAAA lookup
fails for some reason, but the A lookup works every time - might
this be a reason that the outgoing mail is deferred, having to
be flushed 'by hand' ?
