Is this really an "improperly configured mail server"? When configured with multiple domain names on a single IP, IMail reports each domain name in the SMTP handoff

handoff?  It appears that Imail says :

HELO domain.tld

... based on the virtual server domain.tld that accepted the inbound message.

(e.g., "mail.mydomain.com"). This actually makes sense to me, but I'm not an expert, so is it really a violation of the RFCs?

It's a legal behavior. But it's behavior that is often seen in compromised machines much more than in legit servers.
