G'day Renaud and Dave,
Thank you for your replies.

I wasn't sure where in the conf to add "smtp_accept_max_nonmail_hosts
= !www.abuse.net", so I put it at the beginning. I have a monolithic
conf file.

The test was the same with the difference below:
--- <START TEST> ---
Relay test 12
>>> RSET

<<< 250 Reset OK
>>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest@???>

<<< 250 OK
>>> RCPT TO:<me@???@[210.x.xxx.x]>

<<< 501-<me@???@[210.x.xxx.x]>: malformed address:
@[210.x.xxx.x]> may not follow <me@???
<<< 501 Too many syntax or protocol errors
Relay test 13
>>> RSET

<<<
Relay test result
Could not reset connection, test failed.
--- <END TEST> ---

Where should I put the config line?
Thanks again in anticipation,
build
