I want the helo to say that name. I assume I drop the hostname and what
about the ESMTP?

I think you may be confused about the HELO; the smtpd_banner is simply what follows the 220 when a client connects to your smtpd. It is common practice for servers that support ESMTP to indicate this in their banner; no harm in leaving it there. Although Postfix by default sends EHLO even if ESMTP does not appear in the banner, some other MTAs might need to see ESMTP to know
your server supports it.

The top posting is what the iPhone does I tried manually forcing it to the bottom.

Okay I set myhostname = gateway.aus-city.com

Now it replies properly, bit it still fails RFC, I get this now (it's better as atleast now the name exists not a unknown server)

mail.aus-city.com claims to be host gateway.aus-city.com but that host is at 202.129.79.106 (may be cached) not 203.206.129.129

There are 28 domains on the server all on individual IPs.

Any solution or live with it? I assume it's much better having a real name rather than a non existent one?

Thanks for the help!

David
