OK replying to myself is bad :) made some progress , but sorted the process of collecting mail to evolution.
Not sure how to deal with an alias. The host name of this machine is gb7tf.org.uk, which I use freeparking to redirect from. I setup one of the e-mail aliases at freeparking to point to the dyndns site with the hostname "rf-engineer.homelinux.com"., which is updated with the dynamic address of this machine. . So I need to get postfix to accept mail for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ,which at the moment its rejecting. I'm still going to need to setup a pop sever on my sons firewall machine as he uses winyuk OS.
