I'm assuming from your last e-mail on the list that you're speaking of the HELO command in the SMTP protocol. This command is used to identify yourself to the SMTP server at the beginning of the transaction (though you can use it later on too IIRC) It has the form: HELO your.host.name The server usually do a reverse lookup to see if the name you gave is correct. It should reply with a line greeting you, like: 250 smtp.server.com Hello your.host.name(or whatever hostname it found during the reverse lookup) obPerlContent: with Net::SMTP the hostname you give during the HELO command can be set in the constructor with the Hello => 'hostname' parameter -- briac << dynamic .sig on strike, we apologize for the inconvenience >> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
