EHLO EHLO EHLO, what's going on here then ?

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to control what FQDN exchange uses when
negotiating a connection with a remote SMTP server ?

I'm getting a error on some servers reporting the client IP doesn't match
the domain.

If I telnet to their mail server and manually enter "EHLO abc.com" then
"MAIL FROM : dcompton@xxxxxxx" it'll accept it.

I've concluded that our Exchange 2003 server isn't putting the correct FQDN
after the EHLO command.

I'm sure it's really simple to set up, but I can't seem to find any
parameter or setting that defines what it reports.
It's probably sticking something in like "EHLO server.domain.local" ?

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Dave.
