Hi,
I checked with dnsreport.com and I get this warning....
============start dnsreport warning==================
WARN
Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.
mydomain.com claims to be host ser1.myserver.com [but A lookup times out]: 220-ser1.myserver.com ESMTP Exim 4.52 #1 Mon, 11 Sep 2006 21:51:26 -0500 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.

QUESTION
---------
1. What does this mean.? I certainly do not want my emails to be blocked by anyone.
2. I want to prepare myself before I pose this issue to my reseller hosting support person. Is this a simple fix. What needs to be asked/done.?
I would like a clean report like this....
============start dnsreport==================
PASS
Mail server host name in greeting
OK: All of your mailservers have their host name in the greeting:
mydomain.com:
220-ser1.myserver.com ESMTP Exim 4.52 #1 Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:06:51 +0800 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.

Sorry if this has been asked before.. did a quick search and found nothing close.
TIA
