I'm not sure that what i wrote below is true or not. My mail server allows me to trust certain addresses as client addresses which will allow them to relay mail without passing BL tests or anything like that, so I can't be sure that my Linux/Witango configuration isn't sending the same type of info to the mail server that yours is sending.
Perhaps you can configure your mailserver to be a little more trusing of your webserver as I have done.

Bill,
I think your problem is a linux config one, not Witango. perhaps you need to update your hosts file or whatever it is that would cause it to report itself as the server name "bart" "lisa" or whatever cartoon character it's named after to the server instead of 127.0.0.1
I'm going to run a couple quick tests on my linux witango box and I'll let you know how mine is setup and if it's reporting itself as 127.0.0.1 too.
Currently though I have no problems sending mail from my linux witango box.

Requests give a client plug-in error.
Now there are unused stanzas in clients.ini (wapache.so and wcgi.exe) that still refer to local host. Maybe these need to be removed?
This is not the case on Windows, and I have a very similar setup.
Changing the client shouldn't impact you in anyway, however I'm not sure
it will fix your problem, worth a shot though. You might want to try
setting the LISTENERADDRESS= and make sure that MAILADMIN= &
MAILDEFAULTFROM= are set to something (and not something that may
resolve to 127.0.0.1)

MAILSERVER=x.x.x.254
I can tail the mail server to see the incoming SMTP transaction. It announces an incoming connection from x.x.x.240 claiming to be
127.0.0.1. The mail server doesn't allow someone else to claim to be localhost.
What is the MAILSERVER= set as in the witango.ini or what ever it is called in the linux world ;-)

Subject: Witango-Talk: server ip address
My SMTP server @ xxx.254 is rejecting mail sent from my witango server
@
xxx.240, because the witango server announces itself as 127.0.0.1.
This
address is not acceptable to the black hole list (sbl.spamhaus.org).
Can I just modify the clients.ini so that the stanza reads:
[wapache2.so] ERROR_HTML=/usr/local/witango/MiscFiles/clienterror.html REPORTCLIENTERROR=TRUE WITANGO_SERVER=WAS1,x.x.x.240,18100
Are there any other implications?
BTW, Redhat 9, Apache2, Witango 065
