very cynical indeed. ;/ we (Zettai.net) are the ISP and we do know what
we're doing and we set Paul's Mailboxer up correctly, as we have with other
clients, its just that I believe Paul has confused the two.

yes, he is set up correctly. we have other clients with the same setup
reporting success with MailBoxer. Its a confusion issue.
