Hai, 

... its all about correct DNS settings, so dont say that does not matter.. 

Best is you read : 
rfc2821 section-3.6 and 4.1.1.1 ( and 10.3 thank you Michael good read, i 
forgot that one.. ) 
rfc5321 section 2.3.5 

in short.. 
make sure your hostname has an A or AAAA record and PTR record. 
make sure your MX point to a correct hostname. 
make sure your mail server ehlo : (smtpd_banner) is set to a resolvable 
hostname, 
requerements for ehlo:  DNS RR of type A is required, and there is no 
requirement 
for the A record to match the client connecting IP address (As per RFC 1123 
Section 5.2.5). 

when a connecting host uses the EHLO command to identify itself and 
where the hostname contains characters that are not one of the following:
"a-z", "A-Z", "0-9", "." and "-" 
Further the hostname should start with a letter of the alphabet. 



Greetz, 

Louis
