The problem is that RFC2821 explicitly forbids this. The parameter
for EHLO _MUST_ be the primary name.
um, slightly different but effectivly the same issue. our company has two
smtp servers, using different ip's, both HELO using just mydomain.com,
their actual names are server1.mydomain.com and server2.mydomain.com, the
mx entries for mydomain.com point to both server1 (10) and server2 (20).
The MX record has nothing to do with it. If the server's name is
"server1.mydomain.com" then it should say "EHLO server1.mydomain.com".
The only exceptions:
- it can say "HELO server1.mydomain.com" but this is discouraged
- it can say "EHLO [123.21.23.45]" (or similar) if it's name isn't
known (in your case this doesn't apply).
