Hello,

I am using mxtoolbox.com to run an SMTP test against my domain which is running 
James mail server and its responding with the hostname, instead of the domain 
name - here is the error, how do you set the SMTP banner in Windows Server 2003 
running James ? -- error  :

 Reverse DNS FAILED!  This is a problem.
 Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
HELO please-read-policy.mxtoolbox.com250 Springserver Hello

How is this set in James - in Windows SMTP, you set what is called a 
"masquerade domain" so these reverse dns lookups dont fail.  

I looked at the config file for James and changed this with no luck:

<!-- Set the HELO/EHLO name to use when connectiong to remote SMTP-Server -->
            <!--
            <mail.smtp.localhost>xyz.com</mail.smtp.localhost>
            -->

and

      <handler>
         <!-- This is the name used by the server to identify itself in the 
RemoteManager -->
         <!-- protocol.  If autodetect is TRUE, the server will discover its -->
         <!-- own host name and use that in the protocol.  If discovery fails, 
-->
         <!-- the value of 'localhost' is used.  If autodetect is FALSE, James 
-->
         <!-- will use the specified value. -->
         <helloName autodetect="true">xyz.com</helloName>
