Hi Richard,

The problem may be that email isn't getting sent out by your CentOS 5 box,
rather than that there are problems checking for updates.

You could test this by going to the Read User Mail module, clicking on 
some user and trying to send email to an outside address.

You could also try a manual module update by going to Webmin -> Webmin
Configuration -> Upgrade Webmin -> Update modules, and clicking the button.
