Looks like the receiving system (93.95.216.141) doesn't like what your
server is providing as the parameter to the helo/ehlo verb. To avoid
problems here, make sure the following are true.

1. The parameter is a valid host name. The default for courier is to use
the value of the "me" setting. You can edit that by looking in your
courier configuration directory, /etc/courier on my system but maybe
different on your's. You'll need to place the fqdn of your machine into
/etc/courier/me, and depending on your system you may also need to place
a host name in /etc/courier/esmtphelo. This will depend on exactly how
your reverse dns works and how you have your server configured.

2. Make sure that the parameter being provided in the helo/ehlo verb is
the same as what a reverse dns look up on the address of the host would
resolve to. Not all machines check this, but they're starting to do it
more often and you can have mail rejected if you don't meet this condition.

It looks like as long as you meet condition 1, that is, a valid host
name is provided in the helo/ehlo verb, the server you're trying to
deliver mail to will accept your mail. But meet 1 and 2 if at all
possible. You'll avoid future problems that way.
