[vchkpw] HELO configuration ? ? ?
Hello all, it has been a while since I have been on the list, here is my question. I have tried to search the web but alas it is probably my wording so here goes. I just setup a new mail server to replace my old one of 7 years :) Old config, qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin New config, qmail + vpopmail + mysql + qmailadmin + courier-imap I have setup the qmail first with domain1, then using vpopmail added the other domains, domain2, domain3 etc. The server can receive mail for all the domains just fine but what I'm looking at is that when a HELO is sent say for domain2, the server replies with the HELO for for the domain1. How do I get qmail/vpopmail to issue the HELO for each domain and not the primary domain name? I hope I have explained this ok. Trell

How do I get qmail/vpopmail to issue the HELO for each domain and not the primary domain name? this is a qmail question, not vpopmail.. so it should go on the qmail list... however: you can't. the qmail server has *NO* idea what domain the client is trying to send to when the client issues HELO/EHLO, therefore, it cannot respond accordingly. Also, what happens if one client is sending to two domains on your server? What should it respond to HELO/EHLO with? the helo/ehlo response should be the FQDN of your mail server. For instance, if you connect to mine, you'll see that it responds with tranquility.scriptkitchen.com, which is the FQDN of my mail server. Connect to my fileserver and you'll get edge.scriptkitchen.com (just ignore the postfix banner! :P) What Problem Are You Trying To Solve?

Well its not a problem to say, just was wondering is all, I thought it might be a virtual setting that would be set somewhere is all. That seems obvious now about the fqdn for the server though. The way I was thinking of it was that when the sending mail server initiates the HELO it would be looking for the mail.trells.com for say and if the mail server is say setup for like mail.whatever.com it would see that it is looking for mail.trells.com and respond with a HELO for mail.trells.com and not the mail.whatever.com. There is so much more I got to learn about mail :) Thanks for the info.
