any way to get sending server as domain name not IP address?

[curiousjoe]

I'm doing some test emails and looking at SPAM-ASSASSIN results and seeing these two:

FSL_HELO_BARE_IP_2
RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO

And looking these up it says things like "In an SMTP session the argument to the first command a client sends (EHLO or HELO) should be the client identifier. RFC2821 specifies the fully-qualified domain name of the SMTP client"

And I am currently supplying my IP address ...

So is there any way to not have my IP address in the HELO and something more spam-assassin friendly instead ?

thank you

Would it help for example if my IP address had a REVERSE DNS record for it?

Note that you can set that in the MaxBulk Mailer preferences, last panel on the right. You can tell MaxBulk Mailer what to use for the HELO/EHLO command.
