I am hosting a website here at work on one of our servers. ( I have setup our smtp and all of the incoming mail is working fine. However, I have yet to succesfully send an email to another email address outside of our domain. I have played with the smtp and outlook express settings a lot but can't figure it out. My specs are as follows.
DNS is hosted by ISP (Bellsouth).
Using TM Soft POP3.
Using Port 25 for outgoing mail.
Need help with smtp mailserver settings. Open to suggestions.
Get the following warnings/errors from
WARN Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.

WARN SPF record
Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record ASAP, as 01 Oct 2004 was the target date for domains to have SPF records in place (Hotmail, for example, started checking SPF records on 01 Oct 2004).
Sorry if the errors are long. I really am stumped and need some help. I would appreciate any help anybody can offer. Thanks
