Re: [vchkpw] Virtual SMTP Greeting?
Just ignore it. In a world where machines could do only one thing due to a lack of power, machines greeted with their own name, which was where you want to deliver to. These days, where hundreds of domains can operate on one machine, this greeting just allows you to identify the server. It is not required, nor does it matter. this should NOT affect your Spam score, especially considering this is on your SMTP server, which is when you are receiving mail and not sending it.-MJeremy Oddo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All--Sorry if this has been brought up in the past...I've beenoff the list for a couple years.Lately, our mail has had trouble getting to Yahoo, Hotmail,and a smaller ISP.

Your smtp greeting should have your machine's FQDN in it. For instance, my server's FQDN is tranquility.scriptkitchen.com and if you connect to my smtp server you'll see that my FQDN is in my SMTP greeting. Just put your FQDN into your SMTP greeting and voila. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the beginning was The Word and The Word was Content-type: text/plain -- The Word of Bob. pgpcFvoUwInYy.pgp Description: PGP signature
