Out of the blue my mail client (Opera) has stopped sending messages. I did a 
clean install of Mepis 8.0.1 and Opera 10 and sending just stopped. Receiving 
messages is fine and sending via another client (KMail) is fine so it is not 
the ports or firewall stopping things. My ISP say they do not require 
authentication to send messages. A log of an outgoing connection reveals:

18/09/2009 13:30:07 SMTP IN : 
Disconnected

Everything appears in order except the obvious:
"554 5.7.1 <localhost>: Helo command rejected: You are not me" 

Who do I need to be and where might I put it?? Everything in my Opera account, 
prefs and .ini files appear to be in order (compared to a backup).

Cheers,
Chris
