Mutt doesn't generate a HELO, it's a MUA not an MTA. You are probably running sendmail or something similar locally, and passing on to the SMTP server on your local network. What you need to do is to configure your sendmail (or other MTA) on your box to send a faked hostname which is acceptable, or to check with the sysadmin for the mail server with the real hostname/IP on the network and ask if the MTA there can be tweaked for you. MUA = Mail User Agent (like Mutt) MTA = Mail Transfer Agent (like Sendmail (ugh!), Postfix, Exim, Qmail...) -- |-Simon White |-Internet Services Manager |-MTDS S.A. |-tel +212.3.767.4861 |-fax +212.3.767.4863 |-14, rue 16 novembre |-Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco
