Hi all,
I'm the guy who asked the original question. Looks like one issue is solved
but another has come up. It's not clear if they are related.
I modified the me file so instead of just pmcawab it now contains
pmcawab.parkermerrick.com and did the same for the smtpgreeting file...
pmcawab.par

I don't buy that using an IP address is necessarily the best practice
though. Here are my thoughts on this.
First, from rfc2821 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt):
One important reply is the connection greeting. Normally, a receiver
will send a 220 "Service ready" reply
Around three years ago I had some mail rejected because the greeting
contained another domain name, maybe the destination had a very strict
spam filter, and after changing it to ip the mail was accepted, I
remember testing a lot with dnsstuff and following their advices

That'd be simple enough to do for dynamic addresses.
Still begs the question, why is this considered best practice? There
must be a reason of some sort. If it's best practice for servers with
multiple domains, why wouldn't it also be best practice for servers with
only one domain?
I'm guessi
you can check for current ip by cron (I do this on some servers, never
use dynamic on mail servers) and replace it , the file can be modified
any time

I can't imagine why that would be considered best practice, except maybe
to save a DNS lookup. Certainly doesn't work with dynamic addresses. :(

there was a guide on http://www.dnsstuff.com/ (back when it was free)
and best practice for multiple domains was to use the ip address in the

Here's the entire error message. The info on conf files I read said to
