[SLUG] Postfix HELO host

2005-03-23 Thread Dennis M. Gray
Does anyone know how Postfix determines the host to use when sending a
HELO to a remote SMTP server? Is there any way I can control that?

Regards

postfix relies on DNS and looks up MX records. or do you want to make a mail
gateway?

 Does anyone know how Postfix determines the host to use when sending a

I believe it uses whatever is set in $myhostname (which, unless set
manually, uses gethostname()). I'm not sure this can be changed with
some main.cf directive (google?), however, you *can* change the value
of $myhostname which will change your HELO greeting, obviously.

HTH,
Gonzalo
