Well I have chroot 'n' on the above and other entries, but I don't think 
that's the problem.

In an earlier post where you indicated your main.cf settings, you had

inet_interfaces = 127.0.01all

At the time, I thought this was a result of hotmail garbling your 
message, but perhaps it's not and that's the problem. If you have

inet_interfaces = all

that should be sufficient to accept mail from anywhere, or you could 
have a list of IP addresses including 127.0.0.1 which will allow you to 
send mail plus your incoming addresses. Even

inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 all

would work although the 127.0.0.1 is redundant in this case, but if you 
have 127.0.01all with no whitespace preceding 'all', I think that's your 
problem.
