When sending a mail outbound, when thuderbird communicates with the mail server
it only declares the domain name on the "HELO" line. Eg:
HELO aol.com
This is pretty broken behaviour - many anti-spam solutions check this (at least
on popular domains like yahoo, hotmail, aol, etc) to make sure the client's IP
actally belongs to AOL's known relays.
Thunderbird SHOULD use the name of the machine (preferably the hostname it has
acquired from it's IP address).
i could not find a more suitable catagory than "accounts maanger" for this bug :-/
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a mail
2. Look at mail server's log
3. Notice the HELO line.
Actual Results:
HELO was bad
Expected Results:
HELO should have been the FQDN of the machine.
