Thanks for that Dan.

The 15 minute thing can't be the case.  I've seen it before but doing 2
successive send and receives cures it.  Not in this case though.

Not sure that the DNS thing is the case either as he can send e-mails to
various other people.  Also, still doesn't explain why I can set up an
account on my PC with the same mailservers and username etc and it works.
