Thanks,
Tried this, plus various combinations in dpkg-reconfigure postfix to no
avail - syslog is still telling me email is going to my ISP (and I get
nothing in my inbox obviously). 

Have tried dpkg-reconfigure as internet with smarthost, and satellite
system.  Annoying, and no doubt more annoying for the sysadmin of the
ISP's mail server non?
