    I hope someone out here has the answer.

    My smtp server is outputting localhost.localdomain on the helo response and
    is getting black listed for it.

    What is the fix, anyone know?

    Thanks,

    Bruce

    Are you saying that when connecting to another SMTP server they are logging

    helo localhost.localdomain

    If so it suggests a DNS issue. That is that your external IP when reverse mapped may come back as localhost.localdomain rather than:

    yourhostname.yourdomain.com

    What is your host domain name?

    Mike,

    Yes that is what I am saying. Is this a ISP problem or is it mine here on
    my server?
    Here is my domain name.
    mail.superp.com
    superp.com

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Your reverse lookup is fine

    Non-authoritative answer:
    64.71.124.4.in-addr.arpa name = 4.124.71.64.cin.dial.core.com

    To be honest my memory on this topic is somewhat fuzzy.

    So:

    In wcConfig -> Mail Server -> Primary Domain

    Is your Local Domain Name and Local Site Name set correctly?

    In wcConfig -> Mail Server -> Primary Domain -> Hosts -> DefaultHost

    Is the site name and domain name set correctly?

    ** Most importantly

    In wcConfig -> Mail Server -> SMTP Server

    Is Local domain name set correctly?

    Also Hector maybe populating the domain name from a local IP lookup so if
    your PC has a Private IP Address i.e. 192.168.x.x etc does your DNS or
    local hosts file have a proper entry for your PC/Host.

    Mike,

    To answer your questions, yes to all.

    A few months ago I switched servers went from an XP to Vista, new install
    of WC5. After running this server for years, now I get this problem.

    Frustrating! when you don't know what is controlling it.

    Thanks again.
