Which it isn't - that's a very old log (but the only one on my system. I
tried Steve's suggestion of 

sender_host_accept_relay=127.0.0.1/32
 
and then 
/etc/init.d/netbase stop
/etc/init.d/netbase start (this starts the inetd daemon which includes
exim)

But still no joy - nothing in /var/log/exim/reject.log (the file doesn't
exist), and I get  a bounced message:

This message was created automatically my mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients.
The following address(es) failed:

  mcv21@cus.cam.ac.uk:
    SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data:
    host taurus.cus.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.48]:
    550 rejected:
    cannot route to sender <mcv21@pick.sel.cam.ac.uk>

Sorry to keep on, but this is begginning to really bug me :(
