Well yes, I believe I am. The postfix config file specifies
relayhost = smtp.freeserve.net
and when the message in question went out, postfix logged a line saying
(I've wrapped this again)
Mar 8 03:25:00 marimba postfix/smtp[26400]: 110DB4920:
to=<heike@totalise.co.uk>,
relay=relay.pol.net.uk[195.92.193.153],
delay=55,
status=sent (250 OK id=16jB04-0003qH-00)
195.92.193.153 is one of several relays aliased to relay.pol.net.uk
and smtp.freeserve.net.
The bounce message also came back from freeserve, not my MTA, after
one of pol.net.uk's relays had tried to pass it on to totalise.co.uk.

Well I once tried it, with an earlier setup here, but don't currently
have it installed. Why is it a good thing? I thought it was too easily
spoofed to be of any value.
