Yes, since posting this, I removed the bbs.leenooks.net CNAME as it was messing
 with my SMTP (the way I shove SMTP around internally).

So I have added an alterant.leenooks.net

[leenooks@ig-1-3 ~]$ nc -u alterant.leenooks.net 11

User                      Action                           Time-on         Node

Alterego                  posting message                  4:11:52            1

But still your check your services js says port 11/udp is not open?
