Exim Error [ 550 "REJECTED - Bad HELO - Host impersonating ]….

Apr-30th-2010

550 “REJECTED – Bad HELO – Host impersonating


If you found this error for any  particular domain say linuxsurgeon.org, then first check the mx record for this domain. If the MX record is pointing to a different server, then just remove the domain entry linuxsurgeon.org from the /etc/localdomains, And add the same entry in /etc/remotedomains. After that restart the exim service.


[root@map007]#  /etc/init.d/exim  stop

[root@map007]#  /etc/init.d/exim  start


It will solve your problem. And Other option is  find the following line in exim.conf  and  comment it.


[root@map007]#  vi  /etc/exim.conf


drop
condition = ${if match{$sender_helo_name}{$primary_hostname}}
message   = “REJECTED – Bad HELO – Host impersonating [$sender_helo_name]“
