Many thansk for the rapid response and sorry for prompting obvious
questions - I'm really very new to this. Might help you to know that
I'm on Mandrake Linux 6.1

But still can't get the mail into my box!

    This is more like it! Just a sample.......
Feb 4 08:16:40 localhost postfix/smtp[1852]: 627EF9A828: to=<owner-expertlinux-mandrake.com>, relay=relay.pol.net.uk, delay=2, status=sent (250 OK id=12Gdps-0000ZO-00)
Feb 4 08:16:41 localhost postfix/smtp[1851]: 4D3E89A826: to=<Glynlocalhost.localhost.localdomain>, relay=relay.pol.net.uk, delay=6, status=bounced (host relay.pol.net.uk said: 550 Cannot route to <Glynlocalhost.localhost.localdomain>)
Feb 4 08:16:41 localhost postfix/cleanup[1849]: A6C6B9A827: message-id=<20000204081641.A6C6B9A827localhost.localdomain>
Feb 4 08:16:41 localhost postfix/qmgr[1802]: A6C6B9A827: from=<>, size=4138 (queue active)

Glynlocalhost.localhost.localdomain seems like one local host too

rootlocalhost Glyn]# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
default_privs = nobody
default_transport = smtp
home_mailbox = var/spool/mail/Glyn
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain
myorigin = localhost
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
relayhost = smtp.freeserve.net
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version)
[rootlocalhost Glyn]#
