Specifying fully qualified domain name for SMTP communication
Many SMTP servers on the Internet require a fully qualified domain name in the HELO/EHLO command for SMTP. Xeams tries to get the fully qualified domain name from your operating system. However, often the OS only returns the current host name rather than FQDN.
Use the following method to manually specify a FQDN in the HELO/EHLO command of SMTP, which will force the SMTP server to ignore the value returned from your OS.
- Using Windows Explorer, or the terminal window on Linux/UNIX, go to the config folder in Xeams installation directory.
- Look for a file called server.properties in this folder. If it does not exist, create one using any text editor such as Notepad on Windows and VI on Linux/UNIX. IMPORTANT: File names are case-sensitive on Linux/UNIX. For compatibility reasons, we recommend you use all lower case letters for this file name even on Windows.
- Enter the following line:
mail.smtp.localhost=[FQDN]
For example:
mail.smtp.localhost=mail.yourcompany.com - Save the file
- Restart Xeams

Hi I tried this in my installed version working in proxy mode and is still reporting in the quit command of the smtp session:
221 dns17.xeams.com. SMTP Proxy connection successfully closed.

All you need is one domain. As long as something is being used in the HELO command, email servers will accept it.
Keep in mind that this domain name is NOT required by SMTP communication.
