------- Additional Comments From info mschuette name  2007-08-02 14:17 -------
This bug is still present and annoys the admins, because checking these kind of \
details is the best way to block spam.

To cite http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821: "The argument field contains the \
fully-qualified domain name of the SMTP client if one is available. In situations in \
which the SMTP client system does not have a meaningful domain name, the client \
SHOULD send an address literal"

So if gethostname does not return a FQDN then please use the current IP as an address \
literal. (Even if that results in "EHLO [192.168.1.1]".)

The point in checking this field is not to get additional information, but to \
distinguish decent mail clients from spambots. \
