@wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net during the address
canonicalisation stage in this case.

All of my DNS entries for all of my domains are managed at
mydomain.com (literally) and I have checked that everything on their
DNS server is correct and there are no canonical entries. The refused
email is being delivered correctly to my own server, so their DNS
records must be correct.

However it is within my own server that things are going wrong. I do
not have an active DNS server but use the "hosts" file instead. The
hosts file is accurate and unchanged.

As I said earlier I searched all files in /etc/ for any entries that
might rewrite anything to or even contain the words
wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net and found nothing.

Is there any other information I can give or look for that might help
narrow this down? Or tests I can do? Or clever magical incantation
command lines I can try?

Try DNS lookups for your domain on your machine:

$ dig domain.xxx mx
$ dig theFamily.net mx

If you gave the real domain name(s) it might help too as we can see what DNS lookups from outside your network are like.
