• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue smtp.helo is not correct

itoop

New Pleskian
Hallo,

on plesk 17.8.11 in the Server-Wide Mail Settings I set as Outgoing mail mode "Send from domain IP adresses". At Server Settings I set als Full hostname a FQDN. My Reverse-DNS-entry is correct (testet by dnsstuff.com; Reverse DNS entry is green/pass as well as all tests for mail).
My problem is, that nevertheless the smtp.helo is not set correctly: If I write an email from roundcube to my gmail-adresse, I can see, that "smtp.helo=webmail.andre-hohmann.net" is set and not the FQDN! If I write an email from my iPhone-mail-app, it is set "smtp.helo=[192.168.179.23]", so my internal network IP and not the FQDN!
Additionally one Mailserver of a company doesn't accept my mails (Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554).

What can I do?
 
What is output of commands

# postconf | grep ^myhostname
# cat /etc/hostname

?
 
$ postconf | grep ^myhostname
myhostname = mail.itoop.de

$ cat /etc/hostname
mail.itoop.de
 
I have the same problem, but I'm using Qmail:

When I send a mail from webmail: "smtp.helo=webmail.domain.com"
When I send from Mailclient: "smtp.helo=domain"

I want to configure it, so it sends: "smtp.helo=mail.domain.com" (as specified in MX-record, Plesk Server Settings and rDNS-Record)

Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?
