Re: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname being in a home network

The mail sent to gmail goes into the inbox (not junk/spam). So, yes, the server configuration is working partially.

But this setup is in a home network. The setup uses Dynamic DNS where the james server is behind the router, and the router is forwarding ports 25, 587 to the james server.

I have tried a few changes on both james/conf/smtpserver.xml:

     <helloName autodetect="false">bpir2.klug.es</helloName>

And at system level, by modifying /etc/hosts :

$ hostname --fqdn
bpir2.klug.es

But no success to subscribe in james-dev list.
Any idea on what to try next ?
