Hello!

I have the following error when I send e-mails:

SIZE=2442:
host ******* [83.170.**.**]: 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1)
> ------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------ Return-path: <support@******.com> Received: from ****** ([**.154.**.33] helo=[127.0.0.1])

It happens with both webmail and thunderbird.

How can I solve this?

My OS is Debian 6 and my MTA is Exim4.

This is the e-mail I receive from my Mail Delivery System after failing (the subject is Mail delivery failed.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

I've already seen that thread but I don't know where I should the FQDN domain. Exim has so much conf files I just don't know where.

Check your server hostname it should be resolved in DNS and have PTR record
