Interesting. It would be nice to see what exactly is being rejected.

The Helo name TB! usually sends is either your machine IP or machine
name. I'm not sure why your ISP is rejecting this.

Take a look at this page:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/03/msg12871.html

When I send a message to my local server, the Helo name sent is
localhost. TB! is on the same machine as the server.

"Wed 2004-11-10 05:31:41: <-- EHLO localhost"

When sending from my laptop on the network:

Wed 2004-11-10 06:27:07: <-- EHLO LAPTOP-HOME

The machine name is sent.

So, it's very likely that TB! sends your machine name and your ISP is
having a problem with that.

It should be interesting to see what OE sends. I don't have it installed
though to check.

I just sent a message with OE and the Helo is:

Wed 2004-11-10 06:32:25: <-- EHLO laptophome

I have no idea why the Helo command is rejected.
