Yes, I know that! :-)

However I receive lots of mail from lots of different sources addressed
to chrisareti.co.uk with no problems at all. As I said
chrisareti.co.uk is subscribed to lots of mailing lists for example
and not one has provoked this "Relaying denied" problem. I'm not
necessarily saying it's postfix's problem but it appears to be
something that *I'm* doing in my postfix configuration that is
provoking this problem.

It may well be connected with the "status=bounced (kbss.bt.co.uk: Host
name has no address)" problem I'm getting too. It's as if some SMTP
servers don't like the way I look as a sender and reject the mail as a
result (with differing errors).
