Nico,
Thanks - I swapped the localuser and send_to_gateway routers to cure
this. I assumed that the domain would be checked in localuser but I see
there is no such check there by default. If I added a domains =
+local_domains line to the localuser I suppose this would have fixed it
too. Anyway, swapping the routers is better as the amount of local
deliveries will be minimal.
Thanks again,
Clive
