Thanks Paul.
No there are no others, so I did chmod etc., and /etc/mail/trusted-users now
has permissions of rw-r--r--.
I tried running epylog again. Its full error report is shown here;-

which seem to be the same as before. It looks like the crux of the problem
is in the line "/etc/mail/submit.cf: line 545: fileclass: cannot open
'/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory". But I haven't a clue
what it means!
