Davide I have just a question about the greeting and md5 challenge :
When doing a dnsreports.com on one of my domains, on 'Mail server host name in greeting' test, dnsreports says : ------------ WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record. mx.groupeab.com claims to be non-existent host <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 220 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [XMail 1.22 ESMTP Server] service ready; Wed, 21 Jun 2006 15:21:45 +0200 ------------ As they state that this could be a problem with some anti-spam softwares, are they true saying this is a RFC technical violation ? Or dnsreport don't take in account another paragraph or rfc about smtp MD5 auth ? In case dnsreport statement is true, is there a alternative 'greeting response' format that will do both conformence to referenced rfc's and md5 auth ? You opinion ?
