Hi Alan,

I try to send you some blabla in answer to some mail but since yesterday 
evening I did not reach anynore to join you:

  - These recipients of your message have been processed by the mail server:
alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk; Failed; 5.1.2 (bad destination system address)

     Remote MTA lightning.swansea.uk.linux.org: network error


  - SMTP protocol diagnostic: 554 SMTP service not available (failed to 
find host name from IP address)

Am I alone? (if yes I would like to advise my isp)

Thanks in advance,
	Joel

Its one of the antispam tests. Your IP address doesnt have a reverse DNS
entry so it regards it as dubious. Probably a slightly excessive test.
I've turned it off for a bit to see what happens
