I do not have an rDNS address and use the IP address in the HELO
command for SMTP. Apparently your server is not accepting that.
Please let me know an alternative way to contact you.

      Hmm.  Grist for the BCP mill.

And according to RFC2821, putting an IP as the HELO *IS* valid.
it is supposed to be an FQDN or an IP (in those cases where a machine
has no name [e.g. a dynamic dialup IP])  However, I don't accept
mail from HELO ip.ad.re.ss unless it's a LOCAL IP.
