Hi All,

I?ve looked through the FAQ and tried some googling? but I
still can not find a way to change fetchmails default HELO
or ELHO hostname response. The remote server denies any
sending of mail if you give it a HELO value of ?localhost?.
The remote servers response is: 

fetchmail: SMTP< 554 <localhost>: Helo command rejected:
You are not me

If I specify any thing else (like ?localhost123?) the
remote server accepts mail for delivery. Please HELP!

(You will notice that I'm running fetchmail in reverse for
"complicated" reasons :-)  )

If you have problems why Do you give your Computer not a Name ?

 /
|  /etc/hosts
|  x.x.x.x         fetchmailcomputer       fetchmailcomputer
 \_______________________________________________________________________

Change x.x.x.x to the Computers IP-Address

Each computer connected to the Internet needs 
a HOSTNAME other then "localhost".

Thanks,

Andrew Burns
