Ah, thanks very much! Yes, my configuration is derived from the default
configuration file, and I had paid close attention to the remarks about not
changing the default ACLs unless you really know what you're doing, which I
don't )-8

Next I'll try and add a second flavour of relay-domains: for domains for
which we act as secondary MX, and who don't care if sender addresses are
junk. I'm not keen on this myself - it'll mean lots more bounce messages
getting stuck on my queue, I expect - but still, without this we might be
rejecting messages that the primary MX would accept and deliver, so we'd
get complaints about our relay, which the boss doesn't want. Ah well.
Should be straightforward enough, but wish me luck...

Cheers,

John.
