   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2022-04-17 09:00:40, you wrote to me:

   This sounds like a very plausible cause for what I've seen happening.

   Indeed... I just found it odd. In the end it doesn't really matter if mail   
   comes in via another longer route, as long as it comes in... ;-)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
