Hi, Scott, Is the existence of an A record or MX record the only thing that the "helovalid" test type checks for?
I, perhaps wrongly, assumed that it checked the format of the HELO string looking for a Fully-Qualified Domain Name. For example, "OEMCOMPUTER" would fail the test because it didn't have a TLD. But perhaps all along the test has just been looking for the existence of an MX or A record and if it doesn't find it then it tests fails. If an MX or A record does exist are there any other things the "helovalid" test type looks for? Thanks In Advance, Dan Geiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
