Hi,
One of our clients have installed an ani-spam software which is blocking our
legitimate email. Their IT guy has sent the below information suggesting why
it might be refusing connections from our server.

INFO: R[5] Client Name DNS Lookup - ns0.myserver.com [217.xxx.xx.xxx]
INFO: R[5] EHLO - mail01.myserver.com
WARNING: R[5] Connection rejected - Deny Connection for ns0.myserver.com
[217.xxx.xx.xxx] (PTR record does not match HELO/EHLO string)
WARNING: R[5] Incomplete SMTP session from host: ns0.myserver.com
[217.xxx.xx.xxx]
INFO: R[5] Closing Connections.
INFO: R[5] Connection closed. 

They tell me it's because the EHLO request doesn't match the DNS Name
Lookup......... they suggest you need to set the EHLO response to be
ns0.myserver.com too.

Please can anyone help me find out how do I change the EHLO response to
match the client dns lookup

We have setup a ptr record to point to both domain names

Also, would it be correct (as per RFC/SMTP standards) for our email to be
blocked because EHLO response does not match DNS lookup or is it just a very
strict rule for blocking spam.

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information...

All help much appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Sandeep
