Sandy, Thanks for the reply. But if I changed the name to mail.prudentialrand.com - wouldn't that cause any other domain name on the server to fail a HELO-PTR-A roundtrip test?
If you don't mind, what would you need to see in the logs and or headers to see if there is an issue? Up until now I thought I was RFC compliant and my server was setup OK....

It's very unlikely that this has anything to do with the initial submission from MUA to your SMTP server. Rather, the fact that your server is HELOing as mail.prudentialrand.com, although its canonical name is la01prudmail01.myrient.net, will cause your mail to fail a HELO-PTR-A "roundtrip" test. The exact text of the error message also implies that your return-path (envelope MAIL FROM:) does not match your header From: value. I don't know if that's actually true; have to see a log to know. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release / Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/downloa d/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/re lease/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
