It was not /etc/aliases. I'd edited /etc/mailname for squirrelmail to use my ISP's domain to send mail via. I've now diagnosed it to this, as I've found out through investigation that postfix also uses this file. Postfix was therefore forwarding these messages to my ISP who bounced them - don't know why I missed the bounce messages but when I sent messages manually I got them which gave me the clue. I've now told squirrelmail what domain to use explicitly and changed /etc/mailname back to the localdomains and all seems well. Will test over a couple of days to confirm.

ISTR that cron etc uses postfix to actually send the mail, is this running?
