Thanks for the explanation and the help.
I can't send the error message, because I no longer have the email and this
only happens rarely, but annoyingly. I will see if I can remember who I
wrote to and try to duplicate it. Your guesses are correct.
I don't think I have a FQDN - don't know what it is. I already have that
entry in /etc/email-addresses. I forget why I put it there, but it was to
solve another problem as I recall.
