I have swift running on a server to pick up docs and forward them onto the domain using sendmail.
My mail A record is pointing at an exchange mailserver 87.111.***.222 or some such ip and the mx record is mail.mydomain.co.uk
They are addressed to 1 of 3 addresses: fred@mydomain.co.uk bessie@mydomain.co.uk george@mydomain.co.uk
The swift works fine, creates the email, adds the attachment and then the delivery SHOULD go to one of the above addresses (it is addressed to them correctly). The as the swift is not sitting on the same ip as the mail the server returns the mail to sender rather than pushing it out to the dns settings for the domain. Should it be doing this or are Pipex a bigger load of poo than we already thought?

yep it is sendmail.
The bounce says :
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
stortford@mydomain.co.uk
Unrouteable address
so it cannot be getting to dns as the Mail A record and MX would send it correctly.
