Nope, you've been clear enough, it's Syafril who wasn't careful enough when
reading your message;-) But you probably shouldn't have used the word
"incorrect". Yeah, it's _in_some_cases_ undesirable (just consider for the
moment that the SMTP server runs on your own machine: Hamster, or
Mercury, or some kind of "fake" SMTP like the SMTP<-->UUCP gateway I'm
using right now, etc. -- in this case it doesn't really matter how the SMTP
session is initiated, does it?;-)), and hence not recommended (actually, I do
know that it's not recommended, but can you cite the source where it's clearly
written? I failed to find it;-)). But in my original message you replied to I just
wanted to supply the simpliest possible example of _technically_working_
syntax in order to explain, why the error message "incorrect HELO syntax"
seems strange to me.

Thought for the day:
In any human endeavor, once you have exhausted all
possibilities and fail, there will be one solution, simple and
obvious, highly visible to everyone else.
