Solaris mail routing to Windows SMTP server (trailing dot)
Hello,
Firstly, appologies, i am a windows man but i'm picking things up really quickly.!
We have some Unix boxes on our estate that route mail to a Windows SMTP server. This doesn't seem to work and after looking at the message headers it looks like the mail is getting bounced.
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mailrelay.XXXX.local.:
>>> HELO unix011.XXXX.local.
<<< 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

Now, i think it's because of the trailing dot in the address from the unix box. Am i correct? and if so, how can this be rectified?
The mail routing is working, it's just the Unix boxes failing to connect. The unix guys dont really know and i just want to fix it.

Any help would be great. Many thanks.
