Change Received header... - its not that simple

Hi...
I got a problem with changing outgoing headers... it seems that server introduces itself by its default domain name... and in reseived email headers it looks like this:

Received: from default-domain-name.com ([210.153.157.556])

Ok... but It's not the header it sends, but something else - I mean this header is being generated by server that receives email.

Is there any way to change it based on email domain you send from? Changing Received header is not what changes it. It's something like HELO... probably... "SENT: HELO default-domain-name.com"... where can I change it in scripts? Please help me...

Best regards,
FlashT

Most servers use the reverse DNS of your IP. Lookup your IP address and see if it matches.

Nope... at least servers I tested do not use revdns... if server default name is specyfied. If i set it up to IP, not domain, it uses revdns.

If it's not the rDNS then it must be the HELO you set. If it's not that then the recipient server is making it up from who knows what, MX, SPF, PTR, A or maybe a mixture. Only you can figure that out currently as we do not know the domain

It is connected to default domain so it probably is HELLO... any way to change default domain or HELLO by scripts?

That is ok, all domains have MX records, not a problem. Would be really greatful if you could help me writting some script like:

if(<email_domain> = 'something.com') do HELLO something.com
else if(<email_domain> = 'somethingelese.net') do HELLO somethingelse.com

That is not possible to my knowledge you can only change it depending on outgoing data such as what domain you are sending it out on not what you receive in an SMTP session.

And thats what i want to do...

sending from mail1@domain1.com -> my server while connecting to remote server says HELO domain1.com
sending from mail2@domain2.com -> my server while connecting to remote server says HELO domain2.com

It is from logs:
SENT: HELO default-domain-name.com

SENT, NOT RECEIVED - thats what my server sends i guess...

Right so you want multiple HELO messages one for each domain. No you can't do that and you don't need to do that either. I run about 50 domains from my hmail all using the same HELO and they all work fine.

Ok, I can't do that, but I do need it

You should add a feature request for it then and let people vote on it or contact martin@hmailserver.com and pay for it to be implemented sooner assuming he likes the idea and you like the price.
