Hi, we've received a bug report in the Debian Bug Tracker: http://bugs.debian.org/482339 Summary: HELO uses the host name returned by hostname() which tends to break because mail servers tend to expect a FQDN. hostname_long() from Sys::Hostname::Long might be a better idea. Find attached a patch I've prepared for the Debian package.

I confirm proposed solution solves the bug/problem. I'd like to ask if it ever gets incorporated as this is causing some difficulties. Thanks, Zdenek
