You live and learn! I have tried doing this for
mailgate01.barclays.co.uk and mailgate02.barclays.co.uk and 90% of the
time both immediately fail with:

   421 4.0.0 mailgate02.barclays.co.uk Server error

So the error is at their end... ?

But, I did managed to connect successfully a few times, and got as far
as:

   RCPT TO: <MY EMAIL at tridentgarages.co.uk>

Whereon I get "domain invalid" response. But I haven't seen any such
failures in the logs, so I suspect that it generally doesn't get this
far... Unless I don't have the log level set correctly - is there a
recommended level for debugging? Currently:

   define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `8')dnl
   define(`confMILTER_LOG_LEVEL', `8')dnl

Thanks for all your help. I have tried talking to Barclays, but they say
that their systems department is for internal use only, they will not
talk to customers!

You have all been terrifically helpful and it really is hugely
appreciated.

Thanks, Chris.
