Sendmail Greeting



Hello All,

When I checked my domain with www.dnsreport, I got a warning that said:

================================
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.

mail.techsys.net claims to be invalid hostname 'localhost':
220 localhost ESMTP SMTPProxy

================================

So, My question is, How do I make sendmail use "mail.techsys.net" instead of
"localhost" ?

Thanks

Sabah
