Hi Steve,

Strangely I have that in smtptester.pl but not in rflinkserver.pl.
Its like this there:
                $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($relay,
                           Hello => $smtphelo,
                           Debug   => 1,
                          );

I will add that as it should really be there. A HELO could be required
with many servers and it doesn't hurt to send it where its not required.
Provided the server has a real domain to send of course.
