NB I am replying to Scot's mail but this is actually addressed to
everybody who was patient enough to reply to my fuzzy headed muddling.

I was indeed sending mail directly to the RedHat servers.
I had missed this simple explanation of the problem for about
3 months now, the information in the mail headers simply did
not register.

Also I still do not understand exactly what was wrong with my
postfix setup. I did have quite a complicated setup with a
recipient_canonical and transport tables (because I used aliases
for my home network). But I don't understand why the transport
table would lead to bypassing my ISPs smtp server.

Anyway I have drastically simplified things and now use only
a sender_canonical table.

This email should now be relayed throught my ISPs smtp server
and my troubles (except maybe for occasional greylisting, which
I shouldn't notice now I expect) should be over.

Everybody thanks again
