Reminder: Outlook vs. Snow Leopard server’s postfix

Snow Leopard server implements some good anti-spam measures, on top of all Greylisting.

But there’s a subtle issue with sending emails from Outlook, many users will get an error on the lines of:

helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

In order to solve this open up:

sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf

Find this line:

smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname

and change it to:

smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname

Restart the mail service.
