Yep just tried that, deleted all IP's from host_accept_relay and did *
instead. Ran -v -d11 and this was the outcome.

Thanks for the tip I had not thought of blacklists. I have changed back the
file to my log ip list as was.
Still get the error 'host in host_accept_relay? no (end of list)'. Still
does MySQL lookup, even though it is disabled. I think that is a lookup to
see if the domain is local as local mail addresses are held in a SQL
database.
