-------------------------------------

A mailserver will everytime HELO/EHLO with the servername. Thats what rfc say. 
James use the ther helloname which is set in smtpserver block. You should use 
their mail.maxant.co.uk there.

Here is the dig output:

Fileserver:~# dig @ns.byteaction.de maxant.co.uk MX

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: James Core

>         Environment: Linux, Java 5
>            Reporter: Ant Kutschera

> My server runs multiple domains. I use the JDBC Virtual Host mailet. 
> Everything normally works fine, but if the user sends email to AOL or other 
> picky domains, the mails bounce, and it complains rDNS is not set correctly. 
> Searching on sites like www.dnsstuff.com I am sure that the reverse DNS is 
> configured properly. It seems that AOL looks at the server name given in the 
> protocol, as opposed to the "from" address, and does a  reverse lookup and 
> compares to that name. But that name is taken from the server name, not the 
> virtual account name, so at best I can get one domain to work if I give the 
> server the same name as that one domain.
> James should be putting the domain name from the users account into the 
> protocol, not the server name, if it truly supports virtual hosting.
> Cheers,
> Ant
