Well, thanks. However, changing a wrong smtp port in one of my accounts
only solved half the problem. The remainder was due to running
the bacula back-up package. It sends messages through a hardcoded mail
system called bsmtp and it uses smtp port 25 as default. The command is
now changed to using port 2525 and the messages have disappeared.
