Description

On Windows server host name cannot contain . - ' " / \ and etc. So in our case we could not set hostname to payamnet.com computer name is just payamnet.
In this case some mail servers require FQDN for HELO, but even by setting following attributes :
<heloName>payamnet.com</heloName>
<mail.smtp.localhost>payamnet.com</mail.smtp.localhost>
on RemoteDelivery mailet it still does not deliver mails,because james's still using computer name instead of setting localhost, I checked source code, source sets both attributes. but compiled snapshot does not work.
here's the mail status:
Reporting-MTA: dns; 130.185.73.21
Received-From-MTA: dns; payamnet.com

Final-Recipient: rfc822; [somebody]@cc.iut.ac.ir
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.2 <payamnet>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname
Diagnostic-Code: X-James; 5.5.2 <payamnet>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname
