I will give it a try, according to my headers, aka s1.uklinux.net is what is 
required.

Received: from mail.uklinux.net (my gateway [192.168.**.**])
        by my mailserver (Postfix) with ESMTP id 91F62CBF4
        for <postmaster@xx mailserver>; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 18:32:42 +0000 (GMT)
Received: from pi.a-squared.co.uk (pi.a-squared.co.uk [212.67.197.71])
        by s1.uklinux.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id hAL8jQO07555;

Received: from majordom by pi.a-squared.co.uk with local (Exim 4.24)
