Not sure what your looking at there Andy. Is it my line-wrapping?
This was all one line in the error message - I'll let you decide how to
wrap it:-)

> SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<ted@nowtsfree.freeserve.co.uk> SIZE=20546:

This was the next line:

> host mailq.totalise.co.uk [217.197.192.143]: 550 Invalid MAIL FROM

I'm thinking that mailq.totalise.co.uk might have some sort junk-busting
block on dynamic IPs that dont resolve to the Sender's domain. So when it
sees this: (again, I let you line-wrap it)

> Received: from modem-179.vanadium.dialup.pol.co.uk ([62.136.22.179] helo=marimba.home.net)

it freaks out. Is this plausible?

Perhaps if I reconfigure postfix to use
        myhostname = nowtsfree.freeserve.co.uk
instead of
        myhostname = marimba.home.net
when I go online, it might work for outgoing email.
But that doesn't seem right for non-outgoing mail.
