HELO www.algonet.se?
Derek Tam
Reading through the manual and the FAQs, I can't seem to find an
answer to address this problem.
While sending mail, Eudora seems to think that it should send a
HELO www.algonet.se to the mail server. Now, I don't know why
it picked that particular address to use, but it is not in the
config files I have looked in. The closest to a solution I have
found in the help file is adding a SMTPHELOString= line to the
eudora.ini file under [Dialup], which does not work either.
It would be nice to get this problem fixed, so I don't get
nabbed for "attempted mail forgery" or something like that, as
www.algonet.se appears in the Received headers.
TIA
Derek

I'm having a similar problem. Please let me know if you find an answer
to this *very* annoying problem.

if you are running win95, you have your computer *named* somewhere in
the win95 config, and that name is being passed in the HELO file from
your computer to the mail server. It doesn't seem to get passed in
the actual email anywhere that I have seen, but while your computer is
talking to your mail server it thinks it is talking to a computer of
that *name*. I have NO idea what purpose that is supposed to serve.
To fix, try:
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network | Identification
has a place for your computer name... is that the name that HELO is
sending? try changing it!

Sure you arent running a swedish hacked Eudora???
Still better though then the guy who didnt have a cd and thus moved
via a friend the office 95 from to zip and installed from there.
His faxes started sending out he had a pirated copy and he had a real
honest original....

..and I will follow up to my own article again.
It seems the problem lies in the configurations for Trumpet
Winsock, not Eudora after all. The settings which were given to
me (yeah, blame someone else) indicated that the IP address be
set to 192.0.2.1, which points to www.algonet.se. So, I have
changed that to 0.0.0.0 which now gives me the desired result.
Those options in the Trace menu in Trumpet DO have a function after all!
thanks to those who helped, or tried to help

Algonet is an Internet server, I mean they sale acces to Internet in
Sweden. Maybe you should connecvt them.

If you're using Win95, I _might_ have just figured out the solution...
For me at least, it had nothing specific to do with Eudora or its .ini
files. It's a TCP/IP setting.
The fix, for me, was to go into the Network part of the Control Panel.
(... Start button, Settings, Control Panel, Network...) I selected
the TCP/IP plug thingie (oh yeah--"dial-up adapter") and checked
its Properties.
Lo and behold, that (now-)inaccurate SMTP gateway was still listed in
both my DNS configuration and my IP Address (gateway) settings. (It
wasn't the same one in Sweden that you're describing, and _now_ I
remember how I got mine set that way, but in any case it's wrong now.)
So I went and nuked those wrong settings, put in the correct DNS
Server IP numbers and Domain Suffix names (and, in my case, left the
gateway w/o a default in the IP Address part), saved, and restarted
the computer.
Then I went and checked my Dial-Up Networking connection's properties
(specifically the TCP/IP Settings) to make sure all that information
agreed with what I'd just done.
I fired up a test message from within Eudora, and the HELO seemed to
be talking to the right folks this time.
Those of you using, say, Win 3.11 and Trumpet Winsock--well, perhaps
you can figure out enough from this to go find out where _all_ the IP
numbers and domain names are kept when you call up a host...
Hope this helps.
