ok, that's the Imail SMPTD server announcing itself to any SMTP client that

But what does the SMTP client process say in the "EHLO/HELO hostname" field?

If my default/official Imail hostname is meiway.com and I sent throught 
that machine a

MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

does the Imail "SMTP client" processs sending the msg say:

EHLO meiway.com  (Imail official/default mailhost)

or

EHLO go2france.com   (one of many virtual mailhosts)

ie, does Imail "masqerade" as a virtual mail host according to the current 
MAIL FROM: @mailhost.com of the msg being sent?
