I have been running James 3 b4 for several months. I was having some outbound mail rejected by gmail and started doing some research. I did an email test using mail-tester.com and got the error message that my HELO did not match the rDNS. It reports:

IP: 64.34.163.186
HELO: p2825577
rDNS: mail.jwmhosting.com

The p2825577 number is my Windows Server 2008 machine name. I don't want to use that.

In the RemoteDelivery mailet config, I have the following:

<mail.smtp.localhost>mail.jwmhosting.com</mail.smtp.localhost>

If I'm reading the instructions correctly, this should cause the specified value (mail.jwmhosting.com) to be sent on the HELO instead of the p282... number, correct? But it isn't.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW... I tried changing my rDNS to the p282... number. rDNS's have to be a fully qualified domain name. So it won't take it. Fine... I then tried changing my Win Server 08 machine name to be mail.jwmhosting.com. No go on that either. Can't have periods in Win machines names.... So I'm stuck. Please advise....

This is kinda urgent since I now realize that there's a distinct possibility that some of my clients' emails are not getting through due to this. So thanks in advance for a quick reply to this.

Jerry
