Alas, no, that file contains something like 'host.homenetwork' and the 
address being inserted is my old @paradise.net.nz address, which 
incidentally has a different username to my shell account username. 
Something somewhere knows this (I suspect exim) but I haven't been able to 
find any traces of this yet (even with grep -r).
