Hi Philip,
That's precisely where the problem was. I had a spammer's domain in there
which obviously no longer works (wow.. some ISPs actually do something
about it).. I thought it would be a DNS lookup, but I didn't spot the
connection.. I guess one learns something new every day :-)
Thanks for your help,
Sebastien.
