I got that same error when I clicked the Check DNS after changing the FQDN for
the SMTP server.
I just ignored the failure and set the name as it is known on the internet.
So far, it is working. Email is going out and coming back in.
I checked the DNS Report and the error is not there any longer.
Maybe someone else can enlighten me on that error.

I have one question for you.
When I enter the FQDN for the delivery of SMTP (MAIL.autosoldnow.com) and click
on Check DNS it tells me The domain is not valid. Our FQDN is a .local on our
local DNS server, we do have a second forward zone called autosoldnow.com that
does have the MX setup as mail.autosoldnow.com -> MAIL.autosoldnow.local.
So I ignore the DNS check failing and continue?
Regards,
Andrew

I searched Google for
change host name in ehlo exchange server
and got the following from http://www.experts-exchange.com/
In exchange system manager
ESM, Servers, <your server>, Protocols, SMTP. Right click on the SMTP VS and
choose Properties. Click on the tab "Delivery" and then "Advanced". In the box
labelled DNS enter what the server is known as on the internet
On my exchange 2003 the box is labeled Fully-qualified domain name and not DNS
but I believe it is the correct name.
Enter the name that your server is known as on the internet.
(MAIL.autosoldnow.com)
I had the same issue with my email system. I don't think email was being
blocked but when I checked out our information on that DNS web site I had the
same warning about my mail servers claiming to be something different than what
they are known as on the internet. They claimed to be what they are known as on
our internal network.
Now I have to figure out that SPF record thing. News to me.

How do go about fixing that? I didn't design the network originally, I just
walked into it.

Your server is claiming to be asnmail.autosoldnow.local when it tries to send
email. When the other email system tries to look up the ip address via a
reverse dns lookup the ip address lookup returns mail.autosoldnow.com. These
two names are clearly not the same so the other email server will think you are
a spammer.
You need your exchange server to claim it is mail.autosoldnow.com when it tries
to send mail not asnmail.autosoldnow.local
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
<http://www.dnsstuff.com/pages/rfc821.htm> 4.3 (and RFC2821
<http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/rfc.ch?detail=2821> 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.
MAIL.autosoldnow.com claims to be non-existent host
ASNMAIL.autosoldnow.local:
220 ASNMAIL.autosoldnow.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:

Can someone check to see if autosoldnow.com reverse lookup is properly
configured? It says on dnsstuff, and dnsreport that reverse lookup works but
that it points to mail.autosoldnow.com, when I look up my other mail servers
most of them point to there-IP.providername.com
I am asking because emails are still backing up in Exchange. :(

Andrew
