Yeah - I wasn't desparately impressed by him not doing his own follow-up, but one-off and with a clear statement that I was merely echoing, I decided (for better or worse) to do it.

I've had a chat with Dawn (one message each way) following up, and this was something I touched on with her, too.

I assume the problem was in setting up a junkable email address.

I originally responded to Mikito off-line, but got a bounce:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

     SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data:
