You phone (IP 69.78.129.150) is using a smtp client (or smtp relay) that is identifying itself in the HELO SMTP message as njbrspamp5.vtext.com which doesn't resolve using DNS. njbrspamp5.vtext.com is likely a smtp relay which simply doesn't have a public dns entry. You can (carefully) loosen the HELO restrictions on your mail server if you want to bypass this check for specific hosts. Since the postfix default is to allow everyting then you've likely already modified this.

Is this a postfix problem? Receiving mail from cellphone
This is a RHEL server running postfix. Sending email to the server from my cell phone is giving an error and I don't understand why. I'm hoping that someone here can shed light on it for me. Here's the mail log entries that show the problem: Dec 1 01:55:27 ec2-75-101-156-55 postfix/smtpd[31695]: connect from 150.sub-69-78-129.myvzw.com[69.78.129.150] Dec 1 01:55:27 ec2-75-101-156-55 postfix/smtpd[31695]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 150.sub-69-78-129.myvzw.com[69.78.129.150]: 450 4.7.1 : Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> proto=ESMTP helo= Dec 1 01:55:32 ec2-75-101-156-55 postfix/smtpd[31695]: disconnect from 150.sub-69-78-129.myvzw.com[69.78.129.150] Thanks for any help or pointers to resolving this.
