Re: [vchkpw] How can I have my mail server checked whether helo address of sender mail servers has fully-qualified domain name or not ?

[Michael Krieger]

Why would you want to?  First look at the RFC822 statement below.

Also look at though, RFC 1123, stating:
" The HELO receiver MAY verify that the HELO parameter really corresponds to the IP address of the sender. However, the receiver MUST NOT refuse to accept a message, even if the sender's HELO command fails verification."

I get a mix of valid and invalid HELOs, as well as many mail clients, such as outlook/thunderbird/etc just sending the Windows computer name.

--------------------- 
            This command is used to identify the sender-SMTP to the
            receiver-SMTP.  The argument field contains the host name of
            the sender-SMTP.

            The receiver-SMTP identifies itself to the sender-SMTP in
            the connection greeting reply, and in the response to this
            command.

            This command and an OK reply to it confirm that
 both the
            sender-SMTP and the receiver-SMTP are in the initial state,
            that is, there is no transaction in progress and all state
            tables and buffers are cleared.
