Is that verbatim?
EG; nothing but whitespace between ..ac.uk and gmail.shef..
And what of gmail.shef.ac.uk?
Local DNS entry? /etc/hosts file? or ??

ACK. Could have been as simple as a (series of) network glitches that
interrupted some of the sessions.. Adjacent cabling being moved about, even..
But .. if so .. adjacent log entries should ALSO show anomalies for other-than
this router.
Any other 'players' in the pool - not necessarily MTA -using same facilities
that might have coms anomalies logged at the same time?
Any router maintenance scheduled?
