I agree with #1 and #2 but #3 was clearly from a local user and
perhaps the sender verify was not completed because the MX pointed to
itself? [BTW, where did the To: header in your reply go?]
To reply to the original poster (Mr Clark):
In order to have these messages relayed (the ones from the
localhost), you need to either accept authenticated senders (and have
the client application use authentication) or add 127.0.0.1 to
relay_from_hosts and add a rule
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
early in the rcpt acl.
Also is your client application setting its envelope sender properly?
Do you want www@??? or wouldn't be www@???
more appropriate?
[But are you really advertising "hosting solutions"...?]
