UPDATE

It started working today, we rec'd an e-mail, first one for months.

We rang to say that we had rec'd one.

The IT "expert" now realises that they have a major problem and that it 
has nothing to do with me using Linux here.

Thank you to all those who replied and apologies to those who took 
offence at my suggestion that the guy was an idiot.

Luckily for me, I knew that the problem was not here and therefore 
didn't spend time, which I can't spare, and money, that I couldn't 
really afford to waste, chasing a solution for a non existent problem.

This would not necessarily be the case for other people and businesses 
and therefore, this "expert" would have wasted other peoples resources. 
Hence my criticism.

All's well that ends well.
