And are you mangling my.mywebsite.com or is that really the hostname with which your server is configured to EHLO/HELO? The FreeBSD MXs also run Postfix and employ the reject_unknown_helo_hostname restriction; it rejects HELO and EHLO hostnames that lack DNS A or MX records. Your log excerpt looks suspicious because my.mywebsite.com does have a valid DNS A record: my.mywebsite.com. 96 IN A 208.87.33.150 > Any thoughts?
