I'm glad we were able to help you Steve.
I was at work when we took care of that so I guess I was a bit
distracted, now that I see what I wrote I must have forgotten that I
have a HELO requirement even on my own server...(doh).
I use the HELO to get rid of some spammers, some of them won't send helo
and others send incorrect hostnames. So, its not really unusual and I
should have known that...(double doh).

I have submitted a server patch for it, there is now an smtphelo
variable within pskmailrc.pl and it will be used if set. Should be in
the next server release.

73 de Per, sm0rwo

P.s. Now putting course&speed in the beacon from jpskmail :-)
