Can you provide examples please. Looking at the qmail-remote.c source
code:
227 substdio_puts(&smtpto,"HELO ");
228 substdio_put(&smtpto,helohost.s,helohost.len);
229 substdio_puts(&smtpto,"\r\n");
230 substdio_flush(&smtpto);
231 if (smtpcode() != 250) quit("ZConnected to "," but my name was rejected");
suggests that your statement is incorrect. If you have specific
examples that demonstrate this condition, please let us know.
