[Mimedefang] Bouncing on invalid HELO/EHLO

[Geoff Thornton]

I hope I'm understanding your question correctly.  If you're asking if this
code still allows a mail exchanger to receive mail for more than one domain
on the Internet, than the answer is yes.

My understanding (and what my log files confirm) is that when you say
'HELO', you say who *you* are, not who you are sending to.  I just block
senders that look at my mailer's IP address or banner message and say, "Oh
yeah, I'm really you and want to send a message to 'myself'"

BTW--I relay for several different MX domains through MIMEDefang and have
not had any problems.

This might just be a stupid question based the fact that my brain doesn't
turn on before noon, but does this also reject machines with the domain the
same but the hostmask different? 

Exampe.

Server is known as linux.domain.com, mail.domain.com, and domain.com.
Machines on the network are machine1.domain.com, machine2, etc....
Will it reject the machines because they share the domain.com?
