Sorry to confuse Nick, I think I may have misinterpreted your question,
"Is the host www an internal system?" to imply that the system was
called 'www' due to a nisconfiguration. The logs are from the mailserver
referenced above, the intimate details of which I have appended here [1].

Previously yes, I used imap and the mail was stored on the server.
Latterly though I have changed the hardware, and for the period that the
server was being rebuilt on new hardware I pushed the mail back to my
isp, Andrews and Arnold, and currently bring it in from their pop3
server. I am trying to iron out the wrinkles on this system before I
switch back.

myhostname = mail.funkygibbins.me.uk
myorigin = /etc/mailname ['cat /etc/mailname' returns
mail.funkygibbins.me.uk]
mydestination =

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mail.funkygibbins.me.uk
Address: 81.2.99.91
Pinging mail.funkygibbins.me.uk from the internal network goes to
192.168.1.40 due to an entry in /etc/hosts.
