No problem here Rick as I am in control of both the upstream SMTP (MIMESweeper) and the DNS (QuickDNS).
The problem was with TF MailServer only presenting a HELO domainname.com Rusty resolved this for me by getting me to add an additional entry for my local gateways (mail.domainname.com) as the top entry.
But does this have a knock on effect for other people?
