Roger,
Your postfix configuration on the new box appears to be your culprit.

I don't think that is the case. I assume that you are picking up
(incoming) e-mail using fetchmail (rather than a direct SMTP feed)
and then using postfix to deliver it locally?
Are you certain that you have configured postfix on the new box to accept
e-mail addressed to XXXX at roger-beaumont.co.uk for local delivery?

Indeed it appears that postfix is not configured correctly to perform
local delivery for XXXX at roger-beaumont.co.uk and (as Lee said) is also
not setup correctly as a "smarthost" to relay everything through the
NTL SMTP server (its attempting to use direct delivery & messagelabs is
rejecting since your IP is - correctly I presume - in the DUL).
