[Mimedefang] OT: problem with helo

Hi,
	Sorry it's off topic, but I thought someone may know the answer.

When I telnet to my mimedefang box on port 25. I get the standard greeting just fine. But if I type 'helo' it returns 'needs a domain' so I then put 'helo domain.com' and I am allowed to continue with the mail.

What I have just found on a fresh telnet is, after the greeting if I put 'helo domain.com' I get 'command unrecognised' so I then have to put 'helo' and get the error and then 'helo domain.com'.

Basically is this just how it is, or is something wrong?

Many thanks

Andrew
