[wellylug] Mail log errors

I'm running Postfix MTA on my Debian Lenny server, and it's configured
to support virtual domains.  A few time each day I get entries like the
following in my mail log.
 
Mar 19 13:10:04 helena postfix/smtpd[28072]: connect from
123-204-171-142.adsl.dynamic.seed.net.tw[123.204.171.142]

Mar 19 13:10:05 helena postfix/smtpd[28072]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
123-204-171-142.adsl.dynamic.seed.net.tw[123.204.171.142]: 554 5.7.1

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/smtpd[28072]: lost connection after RCPT
from 123-204-171-142.adsl.dynamic.seed.net.tw[123.204.171.142]

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/cleanup[28636]: 1DB123FE48736:

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/smtpd[28072]: disconnect from

active)

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/smtp[29707]: 1DB123FE48736:

delay=0.27, delays=0.15/0.1/0.03/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for
helena.karori.net.nz loops back to myself)

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/bounce[29742]: warning: 1DB123FE48736:
undeliverable postmaster notification discarded

Mar 19 13:10:06 helena postfix/qmgr[3446]: 1DB123FE48736: removed

Two questions I have are:
 
1.  Do I need to worry about the "NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from xxx"
message?
2.  What is causing the "status=bounced (mail for helena.karori.net.nz
loops back to myself)" message?  I have searched various websites about
this, but am getting confused about my hostname, domain name, server
name settings.  What should they be?
 
Regards
Peter Lynch
