Been, busy, and hopefully this time, next week, I will be on leave, if the
Greeks I work for, do not change their minds.

Think I broke Netmail, when I moved it to a Squish base. :((

Setting up a direct connection, can be done ...

Also want to rebuild that RPi, it is still running on Wheezy - which is more
than a little old ...

So will get to it as I go ...

Thanks

Russell
