I have postfix running on my xubuntu 21.10 desktop machine and it's
working fine for sending mail from mutt which uses the 'sendmail'
interface.
However I have a script which attempts to send using localhost port 25
and that doesn't appear to work.
I am trying to debug it by connecting directly to port 25 on localhost
using telnet and composing mail that way. It appears to be sent
according to the postfix mail.log but it just disappears.
I.e., from mail.log, this message never arrives:-

So what's the difference? I *guess* that something in between must be
rejecting the first
one for some reason.
