Simon / Robin
Many many thanks.
- Rang SMC (router manufacturer) who told me to upgrade the firmware
- Upgraded firmware
- Turned off router, left it 10 minutes and turned it back on. Pending
emails sent
Problem identified.
For anyone else running Debian, I found the following commands (as root)
very helpful is seeing what the heck is happening
exim -q or -qf This retries the pending queue in Exim4
exim -bp Displays what is on the queue
exiqgrep Again what is on the queue
tail -f /var/log/exim4/mainlog Keeps the exim4 log open at the last few
messages
Will start looking for a linux happy modem / router

The problem seems to be that neither machine can send email of more than
about 20k

Apologies
Two firewalls:
- NAT on the router SMC 7404 BRA (have called them and, as instructed,
have just upgraded the firmware) (NB did not work on its own: had to
turn off and turn on again to get it to work)
- Firestarter v 1.03 on this Debian etch machine
Furthermore I have sent emails:
- To my isp (on port 25), no SSL, nothing
- To my webhost (using TLS/SSL on port 2025. This was my default).
- Straight from my machine
