----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Assignee: Hendrik Saly
> Unable to configure EHLO/HELO host name via property “mail.smtp.localhost”
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GERONIMO-6490
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6490
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: mail
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Alexander Grupe
> Assignee: Hendrik Saly
>
> Geronimo Mail seems to use the same JavaMail properties as the original Sun
> implementation [1].
> Unlike the original implementation, however, the “mail.smtp.localhost”
> property cannot be used to specify which host name should be used when
> issuing a EHLO or HELO command to the SMTP server.
> Instead, the return value of {{InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()}} is
> always used, regardless of the value of “mail.smtp.localhost”. (To be exact,
> the property is only ever used if {{getHostName()}} returns null, which is
> very unlikely to happen.)
> The local host name returned by {{InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()}}
> should rather be used as a *fallback* value, not as an *override* value.
> Otherwise, you can only influence what is sent in the EHLO/HELO command by
> changing the JVM environment (e.g. by editing {{/etc/hosts}}).
