Sorry, I did not intend to write with the "@" - it was a left over from the previous line.
> Not saying something like: > 220 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I thought the helo domain was the DOMAIN, not the host. Anyway, I tested with SERVER.TAB saying "HeloDomain"[tab]"bigeagle.com.au" - original "HeloDomain"[tab]"mars.bigeagle.com.au" - modified And DNSReport now does not complain for EITHER. So I have put it back to the original. When I telnet (25) to the server, I get the same format of response for both HeloDomain settings. "mars" is never displayed, so I can't see why DNSReport would have complained. Ahh,,, If you use in SERVER.TAB "SMTPDomain"[tab]"mars.bigeagle.com.au" Then you get the host name in the greeting. I'll just chalk it up to experience. Rob :-) _________________________________________________ Signature: Live like you'll die tomorrow! Reply: I tried your signature out once.
