    Hi everyone, thanks for all the replies & sorry it's taken so long to
    respond, i've been busy with other stuff & not had time to look at
    this again.

    Having read your replies & looked at my logs i'm still not sure
    exactly what is happening. I have since taken out the relayhost as it
    didn't seem to be benefitting me & I don't like relying on my isp's
    servers anyway.
    I ran the same command as above & this is the log. Comparing it to
    the above it now looks like it is working as expected, can anyone
    confirm this?
    Sorry if this is basic stuff, i'm still finding my way around
    postfix/smtp & getting used to how it works, I originaly thought that
    using a relayhost would mean that the message would be forwarded only
    once & the relayhost would deal with the multiple
    recipients/domains... oops.
