Hi, Usually this happens because the helo parameter sent by the MTA is just "servername" instead of "servername.domain.com". Also, ideally, this should be the same data as found in your public PTR record.
The helo host can be changed by adding the parameter to /var/qmail/control/helohost, although this is only needed if /var/qmail/control/me is something weird.

Hi, my qmail installation is working fine, but when I try to send mails to recipients of some domains (such as libero.it), the mail is bounced back with this error: Reporting-MTA: dns;myservername Received-From-MTA: dns;myservername Arrival-Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 12:59:48 +0200 Final-Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.5.0 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;504 <myservername>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname So, there's something I need to setup in qmail to avoid this response?
