Connection is DSL. The computer is connected to a DDWRT based router

Most of these e-mails are sent from the same computer. Some have been sent
while I am away from home (such as this one).

Is this the DNSMasq stuff. That is an odd error. The computer does have a
VPN configured (and it is set to enable at startup, but it hever has).
