Thanks Karl,
Looks like you're The Man!
My /etc/hosts file is now:-
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ServerIII
# For cron->rsync backup script etc.
192.168.2.102 desktop
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
So it looks like the localhost in the ::1 line for some reason started
to cause confusion. Happily my reminders by email is running again. I
wrote it to keep a record file of the day since the epoch on which it
last ran, so all I needed to do was edit that file to subtract 30 from
that number to get it to repeat the last month.
Thanks
Dave
