Whoever wrote the DNS Report tool needs to go back and read RFC821 and RFC2821.
In fact, RFC2821 goes as far as to say that although the strings SHOULD match, they do not have to. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Waters, Jeff Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 3:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Stupid Question of the Day Time So here is my stupid question, our public domain is co.hanover.va.us and the mx is mail.co.hanover.va.us. I ran a DNS Report today and came back with a warning that said that our mail server was setup wrong. Here is the text of what I got back: WARNING: One or more of your mailservers may be claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm, but may be a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). mail.co.hanover.va.us claims to be host hms01.hanover.gov. So the question that I can't seem to find today is how do I have my server answer as mail.co.hanover.va.us to the outside?
