I doubt this has anything to do with BT. MTA's will generally provide the FQDN as the HELO name (as described in the corresponding RFC), and if the FQDN has been chosen to end with .local then you'll get that in the HELO. Anyway the HELO should really be ignored in practice as it provides no useful information for the recipient. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
