I went through the rfc and found that the above stuff was correct. Accordingly I had sent a detailed mail to the people who are hosting our server. It looks like they have not understood at all and have sent me a mail saying that we checked everything is working, problem is with your email client:-). Till those people understand what I want to say, is there any temporary measure to avoid the above. I will contact them again. Changing the web host etc. is not in my hands. It is the job of my boss. And I think over a period of time the same thing was happening, even when we were on NT MDaemon server :-) At that time I was not an email server admin. Anyway. Thanks a lot.
