Hector, "If the server sends 'EHLO mail.example.com' then this means
that there must be a DNS A record" is as true a statement as you will
ever come across.
Servers don't send EHLO/HELO, clients do.
Uh-uh. So, my server never sends a HELO/EHLO, is that what you'r saying?
You're too funny. :)
Outlook used the socket call gethostbyaddr() which will return the
netbios computer name "hdev1" for my home office machine.
I am not, in the least, interested in the brokenness of your Windoze
client software.
So what are you doing in an world-wide open discussion forum that is
constributed to the email system? This isn't about your SMALL unix wie-
nie world only or what you call about.
So, now RFC correctness is limited to UNIX only? And the rest is, what,
exempt? And why? Because you never figured out how to have your software
do a proper HELO? 'Fraid not, dude. If you cannot get your software to
send a proper HELO, then you need to stay the hell away from sending mail.
And to answer your question, yes, I have written SMTP server and
client software.
Oh I find that hard to believe. You have not because you wouldn't be so
close minded and would understand the long 20+ years real WORLD inter-
face issues and understand why there is a REAL reason why its not reli-
able and if you keep BLAMING on WINDOWS, then you are a FOOL.
Actually, I am not blaming Windoze, I'm blaming you. It is, after all, you
how are incapable of configuring your software properly. Now, granted, in
the Windoze MCSE world, with its 'click-and-play' attitude, no high demands
are made on its operators. And you are a fine specimen of that. You just
start sending mail from your box without even settings things up properly.
And then you give me some lame-ass story about a gethostbyaddr() call
being responsible for your wrong HELO. Yeah, real mature way of taking
responsibility.
If you want to write to me, keep the BULLSHIT out, ok?
I have no intention of writing you at all. Save to say you should take
your pills. And after you did, fix your HELO. And stop getting angry at
people who do not buy into your "But my software is so broken, and I am so
incompetent, that you will just have to let me use a non-FQDN for HELO."
