podheaddb.podhead.dk is not resolvable from here. If the destination MTA is checking for resolvability it that could be the problem. Have you tried just podhead.dk ? At least that resolves for me. Also some destination MTA's such as comcast.net require the sending server address be resolvable to a valid DNS PTR record, which it appears podhead.dk does not have.
Name: podhead.dk Address: 83.221.140.137 C:\>nslookup -q=ptr 83.221.140.137 ... can't find 137.140.221.83.in-addr.arpa.: Non-existent domain What you should get back is something like this: 137.140.221.83.in-addr.arpa name = RapidVPS.SimonSlick.com What is the destination(s) this is happening with?

I have tried using the fully qualified name in the helo command, like this: "UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'podheaddb.podhead.dk');" and change the James setup to: <servername>podheaddb.podhead.dk</servername> <helloName autodetect="true">podheaddb.podhead.dk</helloName> (under <smtpserver enabled="true">) but I still get the same error message from some mail servers: "550 <podheaddb>: Helo command rejected: Email denied due to invalid helo name" Note, that even though I use the fully quallified name in the helo command and in the James config.xml, the error message contains the short name (podheaddb). Any help would be much appreciated.
