Hello,

Beginning exim user here.

Exim version 4.85 on Centos 7.

Running into problems because the first "received from" in the mail contains a line similar to the following in the received headers (the public ip address of the sending machine) so that this is tagged by spam assassin on the receiving machine because it contains an IP address rather than a domain name in the helo portion. The following happens before the email even goes out, within the local network:

Received from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:37656 helo=xx.xx.xxx.xx) by host.domain.com

Can't understand why on a different machine I administer the first received froms look like the following and are not being tagged as spam by the end receiver:

Received from localhost.localdomain ([127.0.0.1]:50701 helo=www.domain.com) by who.domain.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated an the reason for an ip address in the helo rather than the domain name.

Really scratching my head here.
