Do: host <the real IP> ..and more than once if there is more than one <domain>.<tld> returned. Whatever the DNS returns 'on top' will be what appears where you have; (myVhost.net [IP.IP.IP.IP]) Your 'helo_data' only controls what your server furmishes where you have 'serverName.net' If you change the DNS entry so that it aqrees with the helo you use, OR change the helo to agree with the DNS, OR a multiple-entry one 'just happens' to match every 'factorial-nth' dice-roll, one of the fields will be dropped, resulting in simply: from domain.tld ([IP.IP.IP.IP]:PORT) by Note that multiple <domain>.<tld> per IP PTR RR are 'legal', and cannot be 'solved' by helo_data manipulation, as the one 'on top' of a DNS query return is somewhat random. And not under the sender's controol... Check headers of my posts of 21 January to this list for examples of both agree/not.
