Just what I wanted!  Thanks for that - actually I worked out a quick and 
dirty way too - I ran another copy of tcpserver without spamdyke but 
using port 2525 instead.  Tt works when testing with telnet and swaks 
(simulating the relay clients) but there is yet still a another problem 
with my Discourse Docker container talking to the host which I have to 
chase up in another forum . .

Regards,

Phil.
