Hi folks, this is a bit off topic, but I figured someone here may have
an inkling as to what I could do.
Some mail servers are now rejecting my email:
(reason: 550 Don't like your HELO/EHLO. Hostname must contain a
dot.)
I checked and sure enough, the HELO just spits out the hostname, not
the fqdn.
why not set your hostname to an fqdn value?
Because then well-behaved tools will be messed up?
That's an oxymoron.
There are no "well-behaved tools" which do not accept a FQDN for a hostname.
Quite the opposite: those tools which do not accept an FQDN for a
hostname are _broken_, and therefore are not well-behaved.
Sun's installation configuration tool, for example.
