So exactly how am I supposed to use a mail server that happens to be behind a
firewall ? Make it lie about it's hostname in the EHLO line ?
The IP that I come out of (194.168.3.4) has both forward and reverse DNS set
up, which up until this morning was sufficient.
RFC 1123 prohibits HELO-based rejections.
Thank you ,
Ceri
