Those were just testing when what suggested didn't work. My main.cf now 
has exactly what you say.

I didn't know this. I change the transport file and done 'postmap 
transport'. I have also restarted postfix, just in case, but still no 
joy. However, are those your settings so that I should have something like

troccoli.it      smtp:[192.168.69.25]
.troccoli.it      smtp:[192.168.69.25]
*      smtp:[smtp:tiscali.co.uk]

where 192.168.69.25 is the IP address of my mail server?

I have previously run system-switch-mail and chose postfix.
