need fully-qualified hostname
When James tries to deliver mail to lycos.co.uk the server responds back
with:
Remote mail server told me: 501 <server>: Helo command rejected: need
fully-qualified hostname
What is meant by a fully qualified host name and where can I change it?

Wonderful, it worked.
I previously did have a name but not a correct DNS name.

James RemoteDelivery gets the fully quelified name from the "hello name" you
configured in the SMTP server.
If you don't have an hello name configured in the SMTPServer then it takes
the first servername (this may not be a qualified hostname).
You probably should configure properly your "hello name" in the smtpserver
with your public host name.
