Its getting to the state where I need to write "ECHO OFF" in this
email group. Now where have I seen that before?

Hmmm. I seem to remember I chose .net for a similar reason.
Can't remember where I read about it though.

Been thinking some more (always dangerous, doubly at this time of night) ...
rearranging the line-wrapping of the error message a little more:

> SMTP error from remote mailer
> after MAIL FROM:<ted@nowtsfree.freeserve.co.uk> SIZE=20546:
> host mailq.totalise.co.uk [217.197.192.143]:
> 550 Invalid MAIL FROM

Is the complaint about the SIZE= bit, as if it's part of the MAIL FROM?

Anyone happen to know which rfc I should read about this before I start
googling again?

Ted.
