smtp errors from dotcloud mail

I am trying to send mail through the dotcloud mailer service, via django. I am getting this error from my smtp host:

Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname (in reply to RCPT TO command

I believe this is because hostname on my server is not fully qualified. Is this something that can be changed or do I need to change smtp hosts?

I am on a sandbox server at the moment. Once I am running with a real domain, does that change the hostname setup at all on the dotcloud side?

Solution

  • The helo command need to be followed by your domain name.

    for example:

    helo yahoo.com
