No - a typo on my part since I couldn't paste the actual log entry in I had
to type it in.

Yes, but the option points to a file lookup. The file itself only has 2
entries (so far!), and neither of them have anything to do with the rejection
addresses we are seeing. The IP address quoted in my previous message was
just one example; there are others. Rejections due to the above file lookup
seem to take a slightly different form:
recipients refused from <...> H=... [IP addr]
recipient ... refused from ... (...) [IP addr]
