I had already configured mydestination to include 'home', but looking back after sorting out my configuration issues, I just noticed that myhostname and mydomian both used a domain name I no longer use. Oops.
Having corrected both those, I am able to send to user@home from any host on the LAN and it arrives in the appropriate dovecot mailbox that I then access with IMAP, which is EXACTLY what I was trying to achieve. Thank you for all your help, my local email is now how I want it. Next step will be moving to FreeBSD, but won't be for a while yet. Thanks again.
