Yes- basically mail-in-01.lug.org.uk wouldn't send me a 250 Ok although I 
was completing a TWH.

As I was lamenting the loss of my mailserver and that I had to do a rebuild- 
I think I have spotted the problem-

Received: from wintermute.brougham.info ([213.152.60.37]
        helo=brougham.co.uk) by mail-in-01.lug.org.uk with esmtp


I am thinking the non-matching forwards and reverse are the cause here. Will 
send this and see.

See you all at the next moot.
