Thanks Victor

After reading your post I just deleted the line from transport. I added the
line in the first place when I was in the "I'll just keep changing things
till it works" mode.

What's annoying is I got the idea from an example in man transport :

            my.domain :
            .my.domain :
            * smtp:outbound-relay.my.domain

I think I'll have to put some rules in transport anyway, because I want to
limit the people on otherdomain.com so they can only send to maindomain.com.
Is the transport file the right place?
If so, what do I use in place of 'smpt:'?

Thanks for your help so far, my hair is starting to re-grow
Adrian

This should be "maindomain.com, exchangeserver.maindomain.com", though
by default domains in relay_domains also match subdomains, so in practice
your setting accidentally works.

This contains bad data:

    maindomain.com smpt:exchangeserver.maindomain.com

There is no transport named "smpt".

The nexthop and recipient are fine.

No surprise here... Perhaps the queue manager should log the name of
the unavailable transport each time. If you look further back in the
logs you will find:

Sep 21 ??:??:?? postfixserver postfix/qmgr[5684]: warning: connect to
transport smpt: ...

See http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html, this clearly recommends
reading
all warnings, errors, ... in the log.

    $ egrep ': (panic|fatal|error|warning):' /var/log/maillog | less
