HELO lookup // HELO handshaking

[quepao]

Hi!..

Since im running my own smtp server on mac (postfix), im wondering if MaxBul support things like described here, in some other software :

HELO lookup

AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, and some other ISPs perform a HELO lookup when receiving messages. If the lookup is not successful, they simply reject to deliver the message to the recipient without sending any error message. There are three possible ways to solve this problem.

1. You can select the "Resolved Internet IP" option in the HELO handshaking settings in the Settings/Advanced screen. The program will perform a DNS query to find out which address points to your IP. This option sometimes does not return the correct values if you are behind a router. If that is the case, you can use the http://network-tools.com/ service to check your IP address and look for "Host name" which should then be copied into the "Use this Identification" box in HELO handshaking settings.

2. Try to change the server identity in the HELO handshaking settings in the Settings/Advanced screen to the "mail.domain.com" format. For example, if your ISP provides e-mail address such as joe@domain.com, set the HELO handshaking identification to mail.domain.com. Try also with only 'domain.com' format.

3. If you have a domain name that points to your computer's IP address, then enter that domain name in the HELO handshaking settings in PostCast Server. You can use the no-ip.com service to host a domain name on your computer.

is there a way we can define the helo handshaking identification in maxbulk also?

tnx!!

Where did you find that text? I just wonder how the HELO setting can prevent a server like AOL to perform a reverse lookup to find out if your message has been sent from a residential IP, an IP that belongs to a range of IPs for DSL/Dialup connections (including static IPs), or that your IP has no reverse DNS (PTR) or no domain assigned to it.
