I'm guessing now that it's sending the hostname as the helo, but since my hostname is not a FQDN, the remote server isn't accepting it. Any way to resolve this without changing my hostname to a FQDN?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm trying to configure Webmin to send email "Via SMTP to remote mail server" - however, I keep getting this error:
.. sending failed : SMTP command mail from: <redacted> failed : 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1) , line 6.</redacted>
Apparently, the HELO command isn't working, but how do I change it so that webmin uses a different HELO command? Thanks!

Unfortunately, Webmin currently only uses the full hostname (as reported by the hostname -f command) in the HELO SMTP command.
However, in the next release of Webmin I will make it possible to configure the name used in HELO (at Servers -> Read Mail -> Module Config)
