Thanks for the reply....All the funky stuff in the mailserver name and
email address was added when i copy/pasted the email from somwehere
else. My fault for not checking the stuff.. Let me change the localhost
to 127.0.0.1 and see.

Why should the problem only occur intermittently though? Shouldn't it
occur all the time if there was some problem b/w localhost & 127.0.0.1

Thanks
Adhish
