Hi everybody, My UNIX systems (two different machines using two different MTAs: sendmail and postfix) send a HELO using localhost. From what I can tell, this is common practice because administrators want to hide security details from other mail servers. However, JunkMail marks this as a problem.
I am trying to relay auto-generated email from a PostNuke environment to a server that is using JunkMail. It never works, and the main problem seems to be the way that the PostNuke machine's MTA (postfix, in this case) is doing a "HELO localhost". Lots of UNIX MTAs do this by default. I have seen some discussions that say that no decisions should be made on the content of a HELO object, and others that take for granted that decisions are indeed being made. What are the prevailing attitudes towards this? Can this check be disabled in JunkMail? Or is it better to change what my server says as a HELO? If so, does anybody know how to change that in sendmail or postfix? Because I can't find it in any documentation.... Thanks in advance!
