Someone told me to use square brackets and put the number in rcpthosts so I
did. It works on our internal LAN but if I'm dialled into my ISP and try to
email to it then it gets bounced.

qmail should accept it if you have the IP address in the rcpthosts file.
of course, this is purely speculation on may part based on how qmail
appears to work to me, and should not be construed as technically
correct or even slightly worth listening to.
btw - those square brackets make me wonder about various things too...
