My apologies, here's the URL:

http://forums.cpanel.net/f43/fh_helo_ends_dot-118261.html

The thing is, from what I can see, the MTA isn't sending a hostname
with a period at the end. That was my original issue that I brought up
to the cPanel developers before Chris brought up the scoring criteria
and suggested mentioning it:

t...@chthonic:~$ telnet 208.116.61.76 25
Trying 208.116.61.76...
Connected to 208.116.61.76.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-busyagentpro.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 #1 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:58:07 -0400
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
HELO
250 busyagentpro.com Hello  [65.98.0.130]

Unless it's referring to the RDNS entry:

t...@chthonic:~$ dig +short -x 208.116.61.76
admin.busyagentpro.com.
t...@chthonic:~$ host 208.116.61.76
76.61.116.208.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer admin.busyagentpro.com.

But it needs to have that trailing dot to be a valid zone entry, so I
wouldn't think it's that.

Is the receiving MTA interpreting it as having a trailing dot because
it doesn't have the hostname format of mail.busyagentpro.com or the
like?

Thanks again for looking into this. It's a bit confounding and I
haven't been able to find anything specifically addressing it.

Regards,
Tom Pawlowski
