Mark, I agree in general with your comments, however, I sent a message
yesterday and today it came back with my id had been locked because my
mail had bounced.  Strange as it was in middle of a load of others.
So, put message back on earlier today via web browser, cutting and
pasting from the returned email.  I suspect that was after it was
approved when it went wrong.


Other than that, good service, occasional delay ... but nowt life
threatening :-)
