When my exim server sends a message it does a helo from .interfree.ca What puts the dot in from the the address like that? Do we have any control of this? My mail is being rejected by a site and I don't know why. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aman Singer" <aman@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Rejean Proulx'" <rejp at rogers.com> Cc: <support at interfree.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 9:54 AM Subject: RE: [Support] Re: Change of e-mail address Hi, Rej. When the interfree.ca SMTP talks to another SMTP, does it say helo .interfree.ca or helo interfree.ca If the former, you might want to change it to the latter. I think it is the former, as this is what the headers on the message I got from you, and am replying to right now, say Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=.interfree.ca ident=list) You might like to change this, as .interfree.ca isn't a correct server name.

I can receive from Sandra but not send to her. Because they reject my server. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean R" <aec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <support at interfree.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 7:00 AM Subject: Fw: [Support] Re: Change of e-mail address The joys of technical support, folks.
