Using Plesk 11.5.3 and Postfix 2.8
No matter which IP address I send mail from, the SMTP banner says the server hostname. This results in a warning at MXToolBox which isn't a big deal by itself. But we are trying to get whitelist certified and the HELO server name must match the rDNS of the sending IP address.
I want to send email from our own domain, which has a dedicated IP address, rather than the server domain. I know about PTR records and all domains have proper reverse DNS set up with my hosting provider. Please don't tell me I need to set that up. I want to customize the SMTP banner. It seems it should be possible with Postfix
I found info that smtp_helo_name can be specified in the master.cf file for a specific client, but I can't seem to get that to work. I see lines in master.cf for the different IP addresses. I tried appending
to the line for our IP and reloading Postfix, but it had no effect.
