You are of course correct. In fact I did the test on the receiving host, I
just got the email to the list wrong.
I did actually mail a reply about this problem - now solved with a domain
list - earlier this afternoon but it doesn't seem to have reached the list,
or our mailhub has done something with it (?). The latter is possible since I
was working on it! I'll check the logs.

Damn he's good :-)
Local MTA has:
host_lookup = LOCALHOST
and 'LOCALHOST' is a macro specifying
LOCALHOST = jhorne.csd.plymouth.ac.uk : localhost
Obviously the '!' only applies to the first entry and an implied '!*' is
tacked on the end. Hence no lookups are done.
Well done. Thanks.
John.
