More DUL bounce messages from the ntl: server.

The output from 'mail is:
-----------------------------------------------------
[root at tower2 mail]# mail -v roger at roger-beaumont.co.uk
Subject: new test 3
Can I work 'mail'?
Cc: roger at roger-beaumont.co.uk... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...

Clearly, 'mail' sees "roger at roger-beaumont.co.uk" as an external 
destination.

Thanks again,
