No, the issue does seem to at or before the 'helo' command stage, but
the error message isn't terribly clear to me because I'm a Sendmail
user. :/ Whatever isn't found (presumably not found by the DNS server
which Postfix is using) it isn't the envelope recipient, which has not
been established at the 'helo' stage.

The nameservers for dyne.org look fine, and I see no problems (in the
UK, with Sendmail & BIND).

In a case like this I'd look at my nameserver logs. If you don't use
a local nameserver you could set up a caching-only server just so it
can log things. That might even fix the probelm. :) Alternatively you
could run a tool like tcpdump to record the traffic and then display
it e.g. with Ethereal.
