?  I was talking about MAIL FROM:<richard [at] sheflug.co.uk>.  If you try to 
send that (via SMTP) to your local Sendmail installation when you're not 
dialled up, then it's going to scream at you unless you actually have that 
DNS zone loaded in BIND locally.  Bites my wife at home all the time, as I 
haven't had time to reconfigure Sendmail yet.
