Hello Pete,
check your config.xml.
1.
In your "RemoteDelivery" mailet (or the mailets, could be more than one), you
should set your hostname for the "sender" side.
The hostname must be the same as defined in your MX Record in the public DNS.
So if your Sender-Domain is "mydomain.de", and your MX-record in dns is
"mymailserver.mydomain.de", and your A-Record for "mymailserver.mydomain.de" is
217.172.xxx, then use:
<mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
.....
<mail.smtp.localhost>mymailserver.mydomain.de</mail.smtp.localhost>
</mailet>
Do not (!) use the numeric IP here.
2.
You should also need to set the hostname for the "listen" side, so you need to
change the "smtpserver" section.
<smtpserver enabled="true">
....
<handler>
<helloName autodetect="false">mymailserver.mydomain.de</helloName>
...
</handler>
...
</smtpserver>
3.
Also in the "<James"> Section there is a hostname.
This is the default if none is set. You should use the same name here. This
entry does mean: for which domains is this server responsible. So you could
have more than one name here.
<servernames autodetect="false" autodetectIP="true">
<servername>mymailserver.mydomain.de </servername>
</servernames>
Ciao,
Bernd

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
We got an email reply back from CBL/Spamhaus. Does anyone know how I can check
this, or what to do?
"Note: 217.172.xxx appeared to be suspicious because it was using thefollowing
name to identify itself during email (port 25) connections via the SMTP
HELO/EHLO commands:
217.172.xxx
This is USUALLY spamware, but in some rare circumstances, it can be a
misconfiguration in your mail server. The CBL attempts to distinguish real
mail server software from malware SMTP clients by expecting users to name their
mail server[s] to indicate who _they_ are, not their provider and be consistent
with Internet protocol standards.
Use of a bare IP address in the HELO is a violation of
RFC2821 section 4.1.1.1, which says that the HELO value MUST be either a fully
qualified domain name (such as "mail01.example.com") or an IP address enclosed
in square brackets (such as "[217.172.xxx]")."
